Wildcrafting: Elderberry and Chokeberry Galettes - Sunday, September 28, 2025

Sunday, September 28: We’ll begin with a guided walk around our nature center, identifying a variety of edible and non-edible berries while learning about their uses, folklore and how and when to harvest them. Then, we’ll come together to craft rustic elderberry and chokecherry galettes, blackberry chia jam, and berry-rosehip tea – a true celebration of nature’s fall bounty!  To top it off, we’ll enjoy our handmade treats with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. Come gather, create, and indulge in the magic of the fall wild harvest!

Clean Up Day - Saturday, September 20, 2025

Saturday, September 20: The Volcan Mountain Foundation is partnering with I Love a Clean San Diego to clean up VMF's Copper Spur Ranch. The focus will be to remove trash items in a forested area near the headwaters of the San Dieguito River. By participating in this clean-up, you will be restoring the forest to a healthy ecosystem. 

The Volcan Mountain Foundation greatly appreciates the time and energy volunteers take to restore the beautiful ecosystems of the Volcan Mountains in Julian, CA.
