Hello!
Dear Friend,
Have you seen the creeks flowing? Have you noticed the hills are green? Have you observed the wildflowers blooming?
It’s all happening out on Mt. Tam right now.
And there’s a lot of work happening to take care of the mountain and the surrounding landscape. We’re excited to share our work, done in collaboration with over 600 volunteers, to learn about the wildlife that move around Mt. Tam with the Marin Wildlife Picture Index. This is one way we’re helping to steward the mountain in partnership with you.
We hope to see you out on the mountain...
~ Your friends at
One Tam

Conservation Management Team Grows by Two
|
|
Welcome Michael Sturtevant and Tatiana Manzanillo!
|
| |
During the field season from roughly March-October, Conservation Management Assistants take inventory and closely monitor the plants and ecosystems on and around Mt. Tam. They’re particularly looking for new invasive plants who are popping up. They also monitor the rare plants that make Tam their home, including a suite of ten rare plant species in late spring.
We are happy to introduce you two this year’s Conservation Management Assistants: Michael Sturtevant and Tatiana Manzanillo. If you see them on the mountain, be sure to say hi!
