INVASIVE PLANT PATROL
Wednesdays, 10 am–2:30 pm
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Invasive Plant
Patrol volunteers hike throughout the Marin Headlands to find new
invasions of exotics and remove localized infestations before they get
out of control. Get to know the park trail systems and learn to identify
plants, both native and invasive. Hikes will last approximately four
hours.
