Call (415) 488-0370 x102 WHERE: Marin County , San Geronimo Valley Cultural Center (approximately 5 mi. west of Fairfax - call for directions) BACKGROUND: San Geronimo Valley spawning habitat is quite important to spawning salmon with the Lagunitas Watershed. The watershed supports one of the largest remaining runs of coho in California even though it has declined by 90% from historical numbers. Therefore restoration efforts such as these can help this population rebound from near extinction. SPAWN works to protect these populations and their habitat through education, outreach, research and restoration. |
