Monthly Clean Up Opportunities | Bishops Trail Squad

Hoping to continue the good efforts that began in 2020, this monthly clean-up opportunity led by Bishops Trail Squad meets at 10:30am-12:30pm each month. Dates can be found on our Upcoming Events page here. Gloves, buckets and other tools are provided and tasks vary each month depending on the needs, projects and pedestrian traffic.

We start at the corner of Torrey Pines Road and Coast Walk and move along the trail to the Cave Store and Goldfish Point.

July 2022 clean-up overview

On Sunday July 17th, 2022, Friends of Coast Walk Trail in partnership with La Jolla Merchants Association, LaJolla.ca, Bishops Trail Squad, Disney Lion King Theatre Productions, and La Valencia held a community clean up. It was a very productive event, resulting in 30 large tarps full of collected trash, weeds and debris. Helpful links can be found below along with a video overview of the successful clean up event.
