Cabrillo National Monument is on the southern-most tip of the Point Loma Peninsula, which serves as a treasure trove for plant and animal diversity. As urban and suburban sprawl covers Point Loma and its surroundings, our park becomes more of a haven for these native species. But did you know that the spread of invasive, non-native species is one of the leading causes of ecosystem degradation?

Weed Warriors are dedicated to the native habitat restoration and preservation of ecosystems here at Cabrillo National Monument. Out in the park, Weed Warriors reclaim the ecosystem’s beauty and health by identifying and eradicating these invasive, non-native vegetation that compete with the natural flora.
