When: Wednesdays, 10 am–2:30 pm

On February 26th, join the Invasive Plant Patrol and One Tam to maintain restored stream side Steelhead habitat by removing Cape-ivy and weeding at Stinson Beach.

Hiking with a mission! Invasive Plant Patrol volunteers join ranger led hikes, from the Marin Headlands to Bolinas Ridge, to find and remove localized infestations of invasive weeds before they get out of control—an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This program is great for those that love to hike and are interested in plant identification, both native and non-native. Hikes are approximately 4.5 hours.
