In partnership with Senator McGuire and the Alliance for Coastal Marin Villages, we are hosting a follow-up town hall to report back on the progress of the Community Working Group that has been focused on developing solutions for parking, garbage, traffic, and signage. Representatives from federal, state, and county agencies will be present.

          Date: February 21, 2019

[FIRESafe MARIN]

FIRESafe MARIN is hosting a 2019 Firewise USA Workshop on March 8 from 9-11am for neighborhood leaders and organizers interested in initiating a Firewise USA effort in their community. This workshop is intended to introduce resident leaders to the Firewise USA program, and provide resources and networking opportunities for potential Firewise sites. Representatives will be on-hand from Marin's fire agencies, land management agencies, PG&E, and other parties who routinely interact with residents and communities at risk of wildfire.

If you are already an existing Firewise USA community, you are encouraged to attend by tabling to share your experiences with potential new folks. Contact Todd Lando at toddlando@firesafemarin.org to coordinate.

Workshops specifically for homeowner preparedness and residents looking for wildfire safety tips will begin spring 2019. Look for a complete listing of classes at www.firesafemarin.org as they become available.

 

[Parks Community Survey]

Marin County Parks maintains the 34 open space preserves and 43 parks across 16,000 acres, and they want to know what you think. They’ve launched a survey to get your feedback about how you enjoy Marin’s parks and open spaces, what you think can be improved, and what projects you feel are most important.

In 2012, Marin County voters approved Measure A to support wildland fire fuels reduction and vegetation management, address deferred maintenance in parks, improve roads and trails in open spaces, and implement projects that protect the outdoor places that make Marin such a special place. Now, as Parks plans for the future, they want to hear from you.
