Our 1st Saturday Nature Walks GO DARK with our new "Flashlight Series" in Summer 2013.

Don't miss this rare and delightful opportunity to enjoy Wright's Field Preserve at night during these extraordinary night walks!  
And don't forget your flashlight....

Results are in from our first season of work as "Watershed Stewards" in the Alpine / El Capitan catchment area of the San Diego River Watershed, removing highly-flammable Arundo donax and cleaning trash and debris from our streambeds....

San Diego Earth Fair in Balboa Park 

Every year in April, 75,000 people descend on Balboa Park for San Diego's Earth Fair event. BCLT was there again this         year with our booth displaying our amazing Back Country conservation lands, from Alpine to Potrero.


This year, one of our local businesses and partners, Alpine Beer Company, generously donated a $25 gift card and t-shirt for a fun raffle drawing at our EarthFair booth!  Thank you so much to everyone at Alpine Beer Co. for helping out, and for making such delicious food & beverages! 


Congratulations to Tom & Mara, our Earth Day raffle prize winners!  We hope you'll enjoy the great outdoors along with your gifts from Alpine Beer Company...

Don't miss this 1st Saturday Nature Walk on Geology, with Dr. Patrick Williams, Ph.D.  Take a journey back in time 80-100 million years ago when Wright's Field was a river flowing out of the ancient Laguna Mts.  This was the most popular walk of 2012 for good reason.  If you missed it last year, here's your chance!

Hope to see you out at the Field!

Please Note: Side-gate access to Wright's Field from Joan MacQueen Middle School is now LOCKED indefinitely due to new security measures throughout the school district.  Wright's Field parking is available along Tavern Rd. in front of JMMS, and walking access is along the side road north of the school (near teachers' parking area).

BCLT continues it's work to survey and eradicate this highly invasive and flammable plant from the Alpine / El Capitan Watershed catchment in 2013...

We are looking for private land-owners in Alpine, Harbison Canyon, and Peutz Valley interested in working with us to remove this hazardous plant from their properties!  Please contact us for more information regarding this FREE fire-abatement program.
