Mt Burdell Habitat Restoration Work Party!
Wednesday, July 23, 8:30am to 10:30am
Leader: Stacey Pogorzelski
Join a community of habitat restorers!
Marin CNPS has begun a partnership with Marin County Open Space District staff to clear yellow star thistle and Italian thistle from the grassland near serpentine at Mt. Burdell in Novato. We will also remove pennyroyal, himalayan blackberry, and thistle from a nearby streambed that hosts narrow-leaf milkweed. Located at the northern edge of Novato, Mt. Burdell has serpentine grasslands with rare plants, an incredible array of oaks, and seasonal streams that support milkweed- the critical host for Monarch butterflies.
We start early to beat the heat and would love for you to join us for an hour or two!
Marin County staff will provide tools and snacks. The location is close to and a bit upslope from the San Carlos trailhead.
Bring water, sun and wind protection, long pants and work/garden gloves (gloves provided if you don’t have them).
Rain Cancels.
Email: marincnpsvolteers@gmail.com with questions.
Directions: Meet at the San Carlos Way trailhead north of San Marin Drive, where San Carlos Way meets Mt. Burdell OSP. Near 488 San Carlos Way.
