One Tam, a partnership among the National Park Service, California State Parks, Marin Water, Marin County Parks, and the nonprofit Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, ensures “the long-term health of Mt. Tamalpais,” the conservancy said. The species, “endemic to the Bay Area,” has been documented less than 100 times, the conservancy said.
