Cool River Program
Engaging Youth in Protecting San Diego River Wildlife
The San Diego River is teeming with life, ranging from microscopic algae to 4 foot tall blue herons! These critters can tell us a lot about the health of the River!
You can help our scientists as they explore and study the health of the River by conducting bio-assessments (which means inspect the living things in the River).
Through our Cool River Program, we invite young scientists (targeted to ages K-8) to join us! Use scientific tools to look at real “River Bugs,” follow Gil the fish in a simulated journey down the watershed, and explore the San Diego River with a guide.
Your gift can make this expereince possible for a San Diego student!
Support this program by donating bus transportation to allow students to experience these field experience at no cost! Your donation of $220 allows up to 60 students to participate in a free program! Click here to donate.
