July 1, 2008 through September 21, 2008 Turtle Island Restoration Network is holding a benefit picnic and barbecue on Sunday September 21, 2008 from 2-6 pm among the beautiful redwoods of West Marin. Come relax by the creek to benefit Turtle Island's projects: SPAWN, the Sea Turtle Restoration Project, and GotMercury.org!

***Just added! Rebeca Riots acoustic performance at 3pm!! ***

Enjoy a casual and fun atmosphere and a POTLUCK picnic. Tasty BBQ Oysters from Hog Island Oyster Co., fresh-baked Lagunitas applie pie, and local brew from Lagunitas Brewery will be served for a small donation. Please bring a food item to share and non-disposable utensils so we can make this a waste-free event.

Proceeds benefit our programs to protect endangered sea turtles and coho salmon and the environment they - and we - rely on.

Location: Samuel P. Taylor State Park, in the Redwood Grove, off Sir Francis Drake Road, two miles west of Lagunitas, Marin County. Parking in SPT is $6. Carpools strong encouraged. Or hike/bike or take the Stage Coach!
