at Nature Collective
Anytime you’re looking for free things to do in San Diego, see what’s happening at Nature Collective. We offer free nature tours and family days. For other events, like a film screening, there’s an admission price that lets us offer these experiences.
Our activities are for anyone in town – from locals to visitors – and all ages.

We need your help to restore precious habitats within the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve and the surrounding areas. By removing invasive plants and helping grow native plants indigenous to the area, you will support a more balanced ecosystem.

Ready to explore the sanctuary of local resident birds and their far away visitors? This guided tour will display all the beauty the lagoon has to offer: birds skimming the marsh for their next meal, a beautiful display of native plant species, and perhaps a furry friend scurrying through the brush. Come see for yourself and enjoy, photograph, and identify new species all year around on our accessible Nature Center Loop Trail.
Volunteer Emmy Garnica leads your nature experience.
