Welcome to the Nutall's Lotus Dunes Restoration page

The Nuttall's Lotus Dunes Project is a joint effort between San Diego Audubon and the San Diego chapter of the California Native Plant Society, in coordination with City of San Diego park staff.

The goals of the project are to:
- Protect and increase the numbers on site of the endangered Lotus nuttalianus (Nuttall's lotus)
- Increase the biodiversity of the site
- Teach visitors about the native plant community

The site is a gateway for pedestrians and bikers to the coastal areas of the San Diego River and Mission Bay Park. As such, it offers an excellent opportunity to acquaint visitors with the native plants of the area.
