La Cuenca Enseña is a binational landscape classroom between San Diego and Tijuana, where education and community are the tools to preserve, connect, and activate the unique ecologies of the Tijuana River watershed. Situated in the coast, canyon, estuary, and arroyo, landscape schools connect public education, existing non-profit initiatives, and government agencies through shared stewardship and public programming. Threatened by maquiladora development, highway expansion, and river concretization, the Arroyo Alamar demands protection and advocacy, signifying our first point of intervention. La Cuenca Enseña unifies existing initiatives through ecological remediation and community programming — transforming sites of tension into open classrooms.
