Join us for our continued Native Habitat Restoration collaboration on Kumeyaay and Payómkawichum Land at the Ocean Knoll Canyon in Encinitas! In collaboration with Ocean Knoll Canyon Keepers, this is an invitation to the coastal community to cultivate safety, biodiversity, and reciprocity in and out of the water, through grassroots reparations for people + planet. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, differently-abled folks always welcome and encouraged to benefit from our free, community nature therapy offerings 🙂

This canyon is incredibly special as it is the Moonlight Beach watershed and a rare, undeveloped habitat for Native plants and wildlife in the heart of Old Encinitas. 

What To Bring: plenty of water, snacks, sun hat, sunscreen, good shoes, any tools you have (shovels, gloves, rakes, garden gloves, etc.) an open mind and deep resepct for the land, the sea, and each other!

A Note on Allyship: When attending a Sea + Soil event, allyship to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities is essential to cultivating safe and inclusive spaces for all. Our definition of allyship involves actively listening and prioritizing understanding of the cultures, histories, and systemic barriers of these communities that shape their unique realities. We advocate for leveraging whatever privilege we have to confront discrimination and microaggressions to stand in solidarity with marginalized individuals. We respect pronouns and identities, and refrain from appropriating or trivializing cultures that are not our own. Ultimately, we engage in allyship that centers BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ experiences and perspectives and actively supports their leadership within the community.
