Did Earth Day leave you eager for more good work getting your hands dirty for a good cause?

 Supervisor Kate Sears here keeping Earth Day alive with another opportunity for Southern Marin residents to help with an invasive plant removal activity on Saturday, May 5th from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm at a location on Seminary Drive. See the flyer attached for details.

 Who knew a plant with such an attractive name as "Sea Lavendar" could be so pernicious? Your help is valued and appreciated. Come out  for an hour (or four) and have fun while protecting the environment!

Shoreline Habitat Restoration Saturday May 5th 10am-2pm, Strawberry Gloves and tools provided RSVP to Jude at 415-680-6291  Volunteers are needed to help remove new invasive sea lavender plants that threaten the health and wildlife of San Francisco Bay wetlands. Invasive sea lavenders were detected and removed from the Strawberry and Corte Madera shorelines last year, although follow-up is needed this spring to remove new seedlings.

 

Please join Marin Audubon, the Bay Area Early Detection Network, and other concerned groups and volunteers to remove these plants. By acting now, while the populations are still small and contained to just a few sites, we can nip this problem in the bud.

Please note these are sensitive wetland sites requiring special permission to access. Because of this, and also because of the possibility of confusing the native with the invasive sea lavenders, we request that you do not enter these sites or remove invasive plants unless under the direction of a trained biologist permitted to be on-site.

May 5, Strawberry shoreline: Meet @ Seminary Drive, 0.8 mile from the Redwood Hwy/Seminary Drive intersection; about 1/4 mile past the apartments, heading south (right map; http://g.co/maps/7w49g).   For more information about invasive sea lavenders please visit www.BAEDN.org.
