Volunteers Needed to Restore Kent Island in Bolinas Lagoon

The Bolinas Lagoon is a magical place. Marin County Parks describes it as attracting “millions of shorebirds and other waterfowl that visit the mudflats and quiet waters each year. The lagoon is one of the most important stopover points for birds that migrate along the Pacific Flyway.

“The lagoon is also home to a thriving population of harbor seals that can always be seen at low tide when they haul out to rest and replenish their depleted oxygen supply.”

You can help keep the magic in the lagoon by assisting the Kent Island Restoration Team this Saturday, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Volunteers will be shown how to identify and remove the invasive species that threaten it. Volunteer work involves bending and kneeling. You’re asked to wear sturdy boots, bring a water bottle and expect to get dirty.

Lunch will be provided.

For updates and to RSVP contact Tori Bohlen at VBohlen@marincounty.org or the Marin County Parks volunteer office at (415) 473-3778.
