Habitat Restoration: Bald Hill Broom Bust

Saturday, February 8, 2014, 9 AM to 1:00

Join
Marin County Parks and Marin Municipal Water District for our annual Bald Hill
Broom Bust. Removing invasive broom gives native plants and trees a better
opportunity to thrive, improves habitat, reduces fire fuel load and enhances
the beautiful views. This project is suitable for ages 8 and up. Ranger chili
lunch at noon!

There
are several moderately strenuous hikes or rides one could take to get to the
work site. A bike group typically meets at San Anselmo Coffee Roasters in the
morning to ride to the site (please call to get details). A guided hiking group
will leave Deer Park at 8:30am. Everyone will meet at 9:00am at the
intersection of Yolanda Trail and Worn Springs Fire Rd.

Driving
directions to Deer Park: From downtown Fairfax, turn onto Bolinas Rd. Go ½ mile
and turn left onto Porteous Ave., following it all the way to the end into the
Deer Park parking lot.

 Trail crew
events are suitable for ages 13 and older.

Age 8 or up
can volunteer at habitat restoration events.

Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a permission form signed by a
parent or guardian.

Volunteers under the age of 16 must have a parent present at the event.

Please wear close-toed shoes and long pants, dress for variable weather
and bring a reusable water bottle. We provide breakfast snacks, water, tools
and inspiration. Rain
cancellation and fire closure information can be found by calling after 7:30
a.m. on the day of the event.

To pre-register, to request a youth permission form or for any other
questions please leave your information here or email volunteerprogram@marinwater.org. Our website provides more information and maps. Visit marinwater.org,
