Join MCOSD for its monthly volunteer workday as we focus on restoring the grasslands of Ring Mountain! This Halloween, we will spend a few hours “treating” our trails to some much-needed repair work. Keeping our trails in good shape is an important part of protecting Ring Mountain’s sensitive grassland habitat. Many rare plants grow along the trails, and by repairing trail tread and keeping water off the trail, we reduce the chance that people will need to walk off the trail to avoid muddy or difficult areas. No previous trail experience is necessary. Costumes are encouraged and spooky tales of bats, owls, and other wild creatures of the night are welcome! This work requires moderate strength and stamina, including working with heavy tools and hiking on steep and uneven terrain. This work is recommended for ages 12 and up; anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a supervising adult. Dress in layers you can get dirty, wear sturdy shoes, and bring water. In the event of heavy rain and/or high winds call (415) 473-3778 to find out about event status. In the event of cancellation, program will be rescheduled. RSVP’s are appreciated but not required. Questions or to RSVP: Contact Volunteer Coordinator Greg Reza at GReza@marincounty.org or (415) 473-3778. Meet at the Phyllis Ellman trailhead on Paradise Dr in Corte Madera. DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in Corte Madera, take the exit for Tamalpais Dr east. Go straight onto San Clemente, which merges into Paradise Dr after 0.4 miles.
