MMWD Habitat Restoration: Rescue Oak Woodlands
Saturday, October 20, 9 AM to Noon
Join MMWD on Mt. Tam for a day of restoration. Volunteers will focus on removing young Douglas-fir trees that threaten to take over grasslands and oak woodlands.
Our grassy meadows are home to sun-loving plants and animals and are hunting grounds for birds of prey. The fruits of our open canopy hardwoods - oak, bay and madrone trees - nourish abundant forest wildlife. Halt the advancement of the fast-growing, shade-producing conifers. Meet at Lake Lagunitas Parking lot.
Suitable for ages 13 and up. Minors under the age of 16 must have a guardian present. Those ages 16-18 must have permission from a guardian.

Description
The MMWD volunteer program strives to connect people to nature and their water source by offering hands-on activities on the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed.
Volunteers are currently engaged in habitat restoration, trails maintenance, environmental education, biological monitoring and geographic information systems mapping.
Through their experiences volunteers gain skills, become stewards, contribute to the health and safety of the watershed and have fun while doing so.
MMWD manages 18,500 acres of land in the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed and 2,750 acres adjacent to the Nicasio and Soulajule reservoirs in west Marin. The Mt. Tamalpais Watershed has been identified by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a key component of a biosphere reserve, a designation given to biodiversity hot spots like the Amazon rainforest.
