Friends of Rose Creek

Who We Are

The Friends of Rose Creek is an advocacy group working to creating a
healthy eco-system for plants, animals and humans along Rose Creek from
Highway 52 to Mission Bay while improving public access and recreational
opportunities along this critical wetlands corridor.

We are an all-volunteer group consisting of local residents, business owners and environmental activists, the group organizes nature hikes, bird walks, picks up trash and removes invasive species. A lack of city provided trashcans, upstream trash washing ashore along the banks, and urban runoff leaves Rose Creek struggling to provide a healthy home to a wide range of fish and bird species. What goes wrong with Rose Creek literally spills into Mission Bay between Campland-On-The-Bay and De Anza Cove.
 

The Friends' goal is to have the lower portion of the creek added to Marian
Bear Memorial Park and Mission Bay Park so that resource management and
recreational opportunities take precedence for both short and long-term
planning and management. Achieving this goal will allow the communities of
University City and Claremont to have non-motorized access to Mission Bay
Park, create a model watershed ecosystem in the heart of Pacific Beach and
Rose canyon, and give our children a place to teach their children about
the amazing flora and fauna that was once abundant in this area.

Join the Friends of Rose Creek on the Second Saturday of every month
from 10 AM until Noon while we work on The Nature School’s native plant interpretive
garden behind Rose Creek Cottage. Enjoy weeding, watering and planting native species
and get involved with your creek and your community. We’ll have snacks and beverages.
Easy one to two hours project – great for children of all ages.
