Invasive Plant Patrol (Golden Gate National Parks)

Save to Favorites

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Invasive Plant Patrol volunteers hike throughout the Marin Headlands to find new invasions of exotics and remove localized infestations before they get out of control. Get to know the park trail systems and learn to identify plants, both native and invasive. Hikes will last approximately four hours. Locations vary from the Marin Headlands to Bolinas Ridge.

Volunteer programs take place on Wednesdays, 10 am-2:30 pm.
