Events & Fundraisers

Saturday, April 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.

Date: Saturday, April 20

Eighty lots of incredible art, food, experiences and more… donated by Julian businesses and individuals plus businesses from across Southern California!

Saturday, March 23: Join VMF's outdoor naturalist educator, Janice Smith, as we identify, collect, and cook wild edible plants at VMF's Volcan Mountain Nature Center.  

In this workshop we will take a short walk to identify and harvest some of the easy to find edible wild plants growing around the nature center. Then, we will roll up our sleeves and work in teams creating delicious recipes from nature and enjoy a freshly foraged meal.
