Why Was This Indicator Chosen?Open-canopy oak woodlands on Mt. Tam are characterized by the presence of long-lived acorn-producing trees from the genus Quercus.
Mt. Tam hosts over 750 native plant species that make up rich array of native plant communities. These communities, and their arrangement on the landscape, are the foundation of ecosystem health.
This fall, we invite you to slow down, look closely, and connect with the forests of Marin and with the community of people caring for them. Our new "Rooted in Connection" guided hike series explores the stories and science behind healthy forests and the role we all play in their future.
