Join SCA alumni and our Bay Area School Year Program participants for another historic Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. This year we will be joining the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy at Muir Beach. Volunteers will be making a vital contribution in the efforts to restore Redwood Creek and Lagoon at Muir Beach.
Volunteers are needed to restore the tidal lagoon and creek at Muir Beach and to maintain the new native plants along Dias Ridge above. The future of the endangered Coho salmon, steelhead trout, and California red-legged frog are at stake. Help heal this special watershed and protect endangered species. RSVP to join us.
When: Monday, January 16 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm
Where: Meet at the Muir Beach parking lot by the picnic tables. Directions below.
What to bring: Water bottle, comfortable work clothes, long pants, and sturdy shoes or boots (no shorts or sandals). Dress in layers for changing weather, bring hat and sunscreen. Rain jacket & rainpants if you have them, rainboots or waterproof boots are recommended. **We’ll be working rain or shine, so please be prepared and dressed for bad weather.**
All necessary tools, supplies, gloves and training will be provided. If you have a pair of favorite gloves, feel free to bring those.
