Note that Marin Water is hosting Habitat Restoration on the Watershed programs like this every third Saturday of the month!

Because rains have soaked the ground, broom pull events have resumed! Marin Water hosts independent and group habitat restoration activities on the watershed. Group events generally take place on the third Saturday of every month. Check Marin Water's website for times, locations, and specific dates.

Throughout the year, we have opportunities to learn about Mt. Tamalpais' unique plant and animal life while contributing to their continued survival. Individuals, groups, non-profit organizations, and families are all invited and encouraged to attend. This program focuses on invasive species control with a special emphasis on French Broom and Douglas-fir. We always try to select sites that are both scenic and accessible.

Habitat restoration events are suitable for ages eight and up. Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and all volunteers under age 18 must bring a permission form signed by a parent or guardian.
