Every Saturday! - Habitat RestorationPlease join SPAWN as we plant native trees and grasses along a partnering landowner's creekside property in Forest Knolls. SPAWN is replacing a landowner's boring old lawn with a native riparian forest which will provide habitat for all kinds of native plants and animals. Native wildlife including the Coho salmon in San Geronimo Creek will benefit from a healthy, diverse riparian plant community and clean cool water. Planting will continue in Forest Knolls every Saturday morning until all of the plants are planted! Meet at the San Geronimo Valley Community Center located at 6350 Sir Francis Drake Blvd. at 10 A.M. Please contact Jonathan at (415) 663-8590 x. 114 or jonathan@tirn.net for more information. Also, please kindly RSVP if you plan to attend.
