Have you ever been out in nature and come across litter, wishing you had some way to remove it from the ecosystem? Maybe you've even gone so far as to hike it out in your backpack--having to use your hands to pick up the trash in the process.
At Marin Water, we will give you all necessary equipment to reduce litter on the trails as you are recreating. By joining us for 15 minutes, you will receive a training on how to use supplied litter grabbers, where to find bags for found trash, and the best places to drop off found garbage and returned equipment after your day on the trails.
After this orientation, you are free to come back to Mt Tamalpais and volunteer any time you like! Any day you spend helping us with the litter abatement program, you can also pick up a volunteer parking pass for lots across Marin Water lands. With almost 20,000 acres of critical habitat under our management, our small staff is extremely grateful for any stewardship efforts made by motivated volunteers.
NOTE: We are hoping to add several more dates for the coming month; please email us at volunteerprogram@marinwater.org if you or others you know would like to propose alternative times or to schedule a group volunteering session!

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.
