Please join Point Blue Conservation Science staff and CNPS members at the Novato Baylands for our second nursery workday of the summer! 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 on the site and enjoy good plant conversation. Point Blue staff will also give a short overview of the history of the restoration.

Volunteers should wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes and clothing layers that 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.
