Greater Golden Hill has been selected by the Fire Safe Council of San Diego County and San Diego Canyonlands as one of eight neighborhoods to develop community-led wildfire resilience projects. Our focus will be on making our canyon habitats, and the structures around them, more resilient to fire.

Potential projects will be submitted to the Resource Conservation District of Greater San Diego County’s Regional Priority Plan (RPP). This plan identifies critical wildfire risk-reduction projects and the Resource Conservation District then seeks state funding to help make them happen.

It all starts with us! Join the Greater Golden Hill Fire Safe Council, Preserve Greater Golden Hill, and the GGH Canyon Collective, us to brainstorm potential projects for our canyons. Ideas from the gathering will help shape our RPP submission.

PGGH is in the process of accepting a land donation for the parcels at the base of 28th Street Canyon and is preparing for the first phase of restoring the canyon to a native, fire-resilient landscape.

Building on initial community feedback, we have developed preliminary concepts for the canyon’s future. This open community session will take place on-site and will provide an opportunity to explore current canyon conditions, review what we’ve heard from neighbors, and discuss early restoration and design ideas focused on improving fire resilience, safety, habitat, and community access.

We will also share next steps and opportunities to get involved as we prepare for rehabilitation work beginning later this fall.
