MLK Day at Mori Point

Volunteer working with Stewardship San Mateo

Maria Durana

When: Saturday, January 17th, 10am - 1pm.

Where: Fort Mason, San Francisco. Specific meeting location will be listed in the registration confirmation email; registration is required. 

We will be planting native plants around a newly constructed pond to create more habitat for the endangered San Francisco Garter Snake and threatened California Red-legged Frog. It will be a muddy day tucking in new plants among existing young ones. We will be hiking less than 1 mile on and off trail, on uneven terrain, and in slippery conditions. Rain boots or waterproof hiking shoes are recommended.
