We Did It! Mildred Falls Property is Acquired and Protected!
Over 250 people came together to raise the $300,000+ needed to purchase the 58 acre property with Mildred Falls, San Diego County's tallest waterfall.
This 300 foot seasonal waterfall located west of Pine Hills is stunning as it cascades down toward the San Diego River. The property is an ecological treasure with many at-risk species which will now be protected.
Great news! Your gift to our Acquisition Fund will now be matched. Make a donation to help us continue our efforts to buy private open spaces which are for sale.
