The Friends of Mission Hills Canyons strive to preserve the community's canyons and hillsides as a great natural resource.

We do this through:

• community involvement
• education
• canyon activities:
  • nature walks
  • plant restoration work parties
  • invasive species removal
• interaction with city agencies & other entities
• participation with other Canyon Friends groups and the city-wide canyons coalition San Diego Canyonlands

Your local canyons have much to offer:

• wildlife habitat
• enhanced property values
• storm water filtration
• peace and quiet
• beautiful vistas
• recreation
• solace
• education & field trip resources

There are many threats to our canyons! San Diego is unique among big cities in having these fabulous resources woven throughout its neighborhoods. However, many of our canyons and open space areas are being seriously degraded by neglect, poor planning, and abuse. You can help!
