Help Clean Upper Otay Reservoir
On December 18th at 9:00 am please go to the end of
Proctor Valley Road (roughly .25 miles down the dirt road section) to the parking
lot for Upper Otay Reservoir. We will have trash pickers and bags for easy cleaning.
Your help will be much appreciated and will make a big difference in just a few
hours. For maps for other information, go to www.ovrp.org or call Frank/Cesar
at 619-397-5300.

There
will be signs directing you to the staging area along Otay Lakes Road with ample
parking for all vehicles. We will have a station set up with water, instructions
and the opportunity to register for future activities. Once you fill your boxes,
just place them along the side of the road/trail and we will pick them up at the
end of the day. Just two weeks after the fires you could already see the sprouting
of new vegetation.

Residents Making a Difference
During
December '03, January and March 2004, the Friends of Otay Valley Regional Park
(Friends of OVRP) sponsored three cleanup efforts on Lower Otay Reservoir. The
October fires exposed years of trash and with the help of local residents we have
erased years of neglect and returned our countryside to a natural look.
During
these threee cleanup efforts, many groups and individuals have stated their desire
to stay involved in improving our open space amenities. The groups include local
Brownie Troops, Boy Scouts, Filipino-American youth, Hanson Aggregates, Otay Real
Estate Company, and Pirates Grove. We hope to add your organization and you to
this growing list.
The Friends
of OVRP is excited to organize the local community in enhancing our knowledge
and enjoyment of the Otay Valley Regional Park. This Regional Park will provide
trails and recreational opportunities in the near future. These trails will link
the Otay Lakes to San Diego Bay (a distance of more than 13 miles) and will be
part of the City's Greenbelt Master plan.
For
more information on the Otay Valley Regional Park, our event schedule and how
to be involved please visit www.ovrp.org or
