Summer may be waning but October offers a multitude of opportunities and special events to connect with Mt. Tam! 

ONE TAM SCIENCE SUMMIT - LAST TICKETS GOING SOON!

There are 20 seats left! Tickets here>>  

Come into the woods with us to explore Mt. Tam's forest systems and how they are changing. We'll look at how the mountain's forests are doing through multiple angles, and how they are affected by broader environmental changes happening in our region. We'll also take a close look at the tanoak - a common element of our region's landscapes, but very rich in natural and cultural history.

Friday, October 5, 9am-5pm
Mill Valley Community Center, 180 Camino Alto, Mill Valley, CA

Registration includes lunch and a reception following the event.
