Hands on Tam Winter Workday

Hands on Tam Winter Workday, Marin Magazine

Bring yourself, your family, and friends for a morning of service on Mount Tam! The rainy winter season is when some of the most important restoration work is completed, and when the need for volunteers is greatest. The rains provide a chance to plant native species in the watersheds and remove invasive species. The projects provide a wonderful opportunity for hands-on learning and many of our projects are family-friendly and open to volunteers of all ages. For groups of 10 or more, please contact One Tam directly to register at [email protected].

The event is rain or shine.
