Join Marin County Parks for its monthly drop-in volunteer workday, focussing on restoring the grasslands of Ring Mountain! This month we will learn how to identify some of our native grass and forb species and we’ll spend time collecting their seeds so that we can plant them in restoration areas. While we’re collecting seeds, we’ll get to enjoy the late-blooming flowers and beautiful views Ring Mountain has to offer. Drop in days are held on the last Saturday of every month (except November and December). 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, but bring a lunch.

Join the Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District for a community meeting to learn about the current status of the ongoing Corte Madera Creek Flood Control Project. The purpose of the project is to address flooding that breaks out of Corte Madera Creek from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in the Town of Ross to the upstream limit of the concrete channel near the Ross Post Office, the reach known as Unit 4. Actions to address this flooding will require modifications to the existing earthen channel in Unit 4 and also to the concrete channel located in what is referred to as Units 2 and 3. Unit 3 extends from the upstream end of the concrete channel in Ross downstream to College Avenue Bridge. Unit 2 extends from College Avenue Bridge downstream to Bon Air Bridge in Larkspur. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer period.
