Carlsbad Cleans up the Batiquitos Lagoon in Aviara

The Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad in the Aviara area is a treasure.

The Batiquitos Lagoon (one of 3 in Carlsbad)is a wildlife refuge where boating, swimming, and fishing are not permitted, and the bird watching is terrific. There are lots of wonderful hiking/running trails for all to enjoy while appreciating the views of the lagoon and the adjoining Aviara Golf Course of the Four Seasons Resort.

Once a year the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation sponsors a cleanup operation in the lagoon when folks are permitted to take kayaks out.

On September 20 and 21, from 7 am until 4 pm, for a contribution of $30 you can:

• Enjoy a 2-hour kayak adventure on the lagoon
  
• Help with the elimination of shoreline trash that can endanger shoreline birds
• Assist with the North Shore Trail habitat restoration
  

You also get one (1) raffle traffic for prizes that include a $1100 kayak (14 foot tandem Hobie Odyssey), 2 1-day REI Outdoor School Adventures, and more.

Contact the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation for more information and to make reservations.

What a cool opportunity to enjoy one of our precious treasures and contribute to its preservation.
