One Tam Member Hike: The Hidden Waters of Mt. Tam; a tour of the hydro-ecology and history of springs on Mt. Tam |
The springs of Mt. Tam have a rich history, providing early drinking water sources for both indigenous and western cultures alike. But these systems are fragile and have been declining in the western United States due to development and climate change. One Tam has been studying springs of Mt. Tam for the last two years as they represent a keystone habitat: we found that springs represent only 0.002% of the land on Mt. Tam but are home to 10% of the native terrestrial plant species!
Please bring sturdy hiking shoes, layers, two bottles of water, hat, sunblock and a bag lunch. Regsitration is required. If registration is full and you would like to be added to the waitlist, or for any questions, contact Monica Stafford at mstafford@onetam.org. Date:
