Mt. Tam Nature Walk

Save to Favorites

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 2 people are interested
Hands on Tam

Kick off your holiday break with a walk on the mountain learning about some of the most unique ecosystems in the area. Join naturalists on a guided nature walk on the Watershed. One Tam’s Community Steward and Engagement Fellow will share their knowledge about the recent work done in this area including forest thinning and the use of beneficial fire.

This nature walk will take place after the morning habitat restoration activity, and you are welcome to join either or both events that day. The nature walk does not count towards school service hours. This is a family-friendly activity and minors under the age of 16 must have a guardian present.


Meeting location is at Lake Lagunitas parking lot at 1 p.m. sharp! Parking passes are not provided to those who have not volunteered in the morning habitat restoration event. Please purchase a parking pass across from the Sky Oaks Ranger Station.

Mission Statement

To manage our natural resources in a sustainable manner and to provide our customers with reliable, high-quality water at a reasonable price.

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.
