Ruth Merrill Children’s Interpretive Walk

Highland Valley Trail - San Dieguito River Park

The Children’s Interpretive Walk was dedicated in 1999 to Ruth Merrill, who contributed greatly to the preservation of open space through her dedicated volunteer work with the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and who worked for the betterment of children around the world through her volunteer efforts at UNICEF.

This web app is created in memory of
