    Description

    Sheet Mulching at San Geronimo Park

    Sheet Mulching at San Geronimo Park

    Saturday, May 31st | 9 AM - 1 PM

    San Geronimo Park

    Get your hands dirty and make a difference! Join the Watershed Stewards Program at San Geronimo Park to help prepare a weedy section of the park for future native planting.

    What to Expect

    • Meet in the parking lot and then walk to the restoration site together (~10 minute walk).
    • Kick off the morning with a quick safety talk.
    • Work as a team to conduct sheet mulching close to San Geronimo Creek. The work area is currently full of invasive plants and has little native cover. Sheet mulching helps to suppress weeds and create fertile soil that will prepare the ground for native plants down the line.
    • Lunch is provided - so please RSVP!

    This is a hands-on opportunity to learn about native plants, improve local ecosystems, and connect with fellow nature lovers! All experience levels and abilities are welcome but activities are more suited for ages 10+. Volunteers should be comfortable using hand tools, bending, kneeling, and lifting. Please dress appropriately, wear closed-toe shoes, and bring a water bottle. Tools, gloves, water, and lunch will be provided. Event will occur rain or shine; in case of extreme weather call 650-468-9618 after 7 a.m. the morning of the event for updates.

    Special thanks to Marin County Parks and Marin Municipal Water District for co-sponsoring this event.

    Let’s dig in and restore the beauty of San Geronimo Park together!
