Join Marin County Parks for the monthly drop-in volunteer workday as they focus on restoring the grasslands of Ring Mountain! Ring Mountain is home to numerous rare and endangered plants, but this habitat is being threatened by invasive species. Volunteer work may include invasive species removal, seed collecting, tarping, and/or installing native plants. Educational components include the discussion of the plants that inhabit this unique place and explanations of how volunteer activities are having a positive impact. Drop-in days are held on the last Saturday of every month (except November and Decem-ber). Volunteer work is mildly strenuous and involves bending, pulling, and kneeling, and usually requires a short hike to the site. Dress in layers you can get dirty, wear sturdy shoes, and bring water. Please bring gloves if you have them. Snacks and extra water will be provided. RSVPs are appreciated but not required. Questions or to RSVP: Contact Ring Mountain Stewardship Coordinator Sarah Minnick (415) 473-5058.
Join your watershed community to learn about what local watershed groups are doing in Marin’s creeks using Citizen Science to measure stream health. There will be a panel discussion plus hands-on demonstrations.
