Be a part of the team working to restore the unique ecosystem on Kent Island in Bolinas Lagoon! You’ll learn the value of protecting this little oasis, and how to identify and remove the invasive species that threaten it. Participation requires a short rowboat ride to the island. Volunteer work is mildly strenuous and involves bending, pulling, kneeling, and usually requires a short hike to the site.

It is possible for volunteers as young as 5 years old to join if teamed with a parent or guardian. Dress in layers you can get dirty, wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Rubber boots strongly recommended, although not required. Snacks, lunch, and extra water will be provided.

High fire danger or heavy smoke cancels: Call (415) 473-7191 to get an update on fire danger status and land closures. If a "Red Flag" warning is in effect, all walks and events on Open Space District preserves are cancelled.

RSVP required; space is limited. Questions or to RSVP Contact Volunteer Coordinator Greg Reza at GReza@marincounty.org or (415) 473-3778.
