Point Blue Novato Baylands Nursery Workday

Point Blue Novato Baylands Nursery Workday
Tuesday, June 10, 2025, 9:30 am to Noon
Leader: Stacey Pogorzelski

Please join Point Blue Conservation Science staff at the Novato Baylands for a nursery workday! The Novato Baylands is a 2,600-acre restoration site consisting of a mosaic of tidal marsh, seasonal wetlands, and upland habitat. This is an amazing project, transforming/restoring a military airfield to a thriving wetland. Activities include potting up native plant seedlings and weeding within plant containers. Attendees will learn how their efforts will increase biodiversity, benefit wildlife and local communities, and make the landscape more resilient to climate change. Point Blue staff will also give a short overview of the history of the restoration.

Volunteers should wear sturdy, close-toed shoes and clothing layers they don't mind getting dirty. Please bring a hat and a water bottle. Gloves, tools, and snacks will be provided. No prior nursery experience required.

A Point Blue staff member will be waiting at the gate at the entrance to Aberdeen Rd. with a sign labeled "Marin CNPS Volunteers." Proceed through the gate (note: 15 mph speed limit), keeping to the right of the road until you reach the nursery.

Signups start Tuesday, May 20 at 8 am.

Limited to 12 attendees.

Sign the waiver if you haven't done so already.
