Join us for a Trail to Bay Hike on the Tijuana Estuary as a part of Latino Conservation Week and Tijuana River Action Month!

The Tijuana Estuary is a marshland located in the most southwestern part of the United States. This flat trail takes you through the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, along the Imperial Beach coastline with the Mexican border in the background. Encounter native wildlife and plants in this unique and endangered ecosystem.

During Latino Conservation Week, September 13 to 21, adults and youth will have the opportunity to experience the outdoors in new ways and learn how they can help protect our land, water, and air. Latino Conservation Week: Disfrutando y Conservando Nuestra Tierra is an initiative of Hispanic Access Foundation.

Tijuana River Action Month is a series of education and stewardship events held during September and October to benefit the Tijuana River Watershed. The goals of TRAM are to mobilize a record number of community volunteers and groups to become stewards of the Tijuana River Watershed, and to recognize key efforts and investments by public and private agencies, businesses, non-profits, and community groups to protect and restore the Tijuana River.
