Mission Trails Regional Park

Special annual events at Mission Trails include the Amateur Photo Contest which begins in March, with entries due by the middle of April.

This proposed addition for adding more land would be within the uninhabited planning are of the East Elliott Community, north of State Route 52 and bordering the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.

The SDRC operates as an independent, non-regulatory state agency established with a similar goal to the MTRP Foundation by intending to preserve, restore, and enhance protected regions or systems in and around the river.

Both purchases would support the park's "2019 Master Plan Update" and the City of San Diego's Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP), which aims to preserve essential landscapes and their (largely endemic) ecosystems.

[3] Notably, the introduction of such projects which are characterized by extension of the park's borders as well as preservation of additional scenic landscapes would also support the policies of related organizations like The California Natural Resources Agency by virtue of imparting a variety of ecological benefits such as habitat conservation, and protection of wildlife corridors in addition to related areas like the San Diego River's watershed segments which are still a part of Mission Trails.

During this time, the MTRP Foundation will work to secure additional funding to support other land acquisition opportunities in the East Elliott Community Planning Area.

As is typical of a chaparral ecology, within a few years the park had recovered and exhibited little evidence of recent fire damage.
