Ring Around the Bay: An Epic Wetland Restoration Project:

The largest estuary on the Pacific Coast, San
Francisco Bay is an ecological treasure; it supports hundreds of species of
wildlife, including 105 threatened and endangered species, such as the
California clapper rail, salt marsh harvest mouse, and snowy plover. Here’s a
special opportunity to help these species thrive. Join REI, Save The Bay, and Marin County Parks for Ring Around the Bay, a morning of volunteer
stewardship activities to restore native wetland habitat around the Bay. When
you register, you can choose from four scenic restoration sites*. The site in Marin is Hal Brown Park at Creekside in Marin County. Work will entail cleaning up the
shoreline and removing invasive plant species. No prior experience is
necessary; Save The Bay will provide work gloves, tools, and project
supervision. Ages seven and older are welcome to participate; anyone under age
18 must be accompanied by a supervising adult. Each participant will be
required to sign liability release forms for REI and Save The Bay, before commencing any project activities. We recommend that you come prepared to get dirty, and
wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, sturdy closed-toe shoes, and a hat/visor for sun protection. Please bring sunscreen and a re-useable water bottle (with
water). REI will provide morning refreshments. Following the work projects, you’ll enjoy a tasty lunch, courtesy of Save The Bay. Enter to win raffle
prizes of great REI gear, and take home a goodie bag with REI and Save The Bay
swag. Sixty volunteers are needed at each site. To register in advance (required), visit https://www.savesfbay.org/secure/ring-around-bay-epic-wetland-restoration-project-creekside-park-marin-co.
