Mt Burdell Habitat Restoration Work Party!
Thursday, December 4, 2025, 9:00am to 11:30am;
[RAIN DATE: Thursday, Dec 11]
Leaders: Greg Reza, Marin County Parks and Open Space District Volunteer Program Coordinator: Stacey Pogorzelski, Marin CNPS Location: Mt. Burdell Open Space Preserve in Novato

Join a community of habitat restorers! Marin CNPS is partnering with Marin County Open Space District staff to remove invasive species and improve native habitat at Mt. Burdell. Located at the northern edge of Novato, Mt. Burdell has serpentine grasslands with rare plants, an incredible array of oaks, and seasonal streams that support milkweed- the critical host for Monarch butterflies.

During the December workday we will continue tarping and hand removal of Bermuda Buttercup, Oxalis pes-caprae. This aggressive weed is spreading to the nearby grasslands and is already in the creekbed. In November our awesome volunteer team tarped one area, and we look forward to working on an adjacent patch in December.
Marin County staff will provide tools and great snacks. Bring a reusable water bottle, sun and wind protection, long pants and work/garden gloves (gloves provided if you don’t have them).

Limit: 12 attendees Rain Cancels; cancellations will be posted on Meetup.

Directions: Meet at the San Carlos Way entrance to Mt. Burdell OSP, north of San Marin Drive. Use 488 San Carlos Way for navigation. The work area is at the San Carlos trailhead.
