H.E.A.R.T. volunteered to spend their Saturday morning doing community service followed by lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings (Our newest sponsor). As we volunteered in the restoration of The Famosa Slough wetlands preserve. We planted and took care of California native plants and wetland plants, removed invasives, and cleaned up at the Famosa Slough and Channel. We even had personalized tours of the Slough learned about surrounding plant and wildlife and 
the Slough’s history.
The Famosa Slough is a 37-acre wetland located between Ocean Beach and the San Diego Sports Arena area. It is bisected by West Point Loma Boulevard and bordered by Famosa Boulevard on the west. The channel portion of the slough extends from West Point Loma Boulevard, northward, to the San Diego River Channel. The slough is flushed with salt water from the river channel, and also collects rainwater from the surrounding neighborhood.
As members of the President’s Volunteer Service Award which is the premier volunteer awards program. We encourage our members and other United States citizens or lawfully admitted permanent residents of the United States through presidential recognition to live a life of service. We believe our work inspires others to take positive action to change the world.
