Description
The grassy meadows of Mt. Tam are home to sun-loving plants and animals and are hunting grounds for birds of prey. The fruits of our open canopy hardwoods - oak, bay and madrone trees - nourish abundant forest wildlife. Help Marin Water improve the oak woodland and grassland habitat near Bon Tempe Lake by removing invasive French broom. You’ll be helping to uncover healthy plant communities that will support a high diversity of wildlife.
Registration is encouraged but not required. The event is family-friendly with parental supervision for ages 8 and older. Volunteers ages 16 or older are welcome to join with signed permission slips. Tools, gloves, snacks and water are provided. Please dress for variable weather and bring a water bottle.
