Open Space Workday, Nature Walk & Lunch Saturday, December 3, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tiburon Peninsula Club Parking Lot Get a good workout, learn about local wildlife and enjoy a hearty lunch on Saturday, December 3 when the Broom Busters of Old St. Hilary's Open Space host their biggest workday of the year from 9 am to 1 pm.  Volunteers will meet in the parking lot of the Tiburon Peninsula Club (1600 Mar West Street) and will pull broom on the open space behind the club.  Marin County Parks Rangers will be on hand to direct the efforts, provide tools, snacks and lunch.  Naturalist David Herlocker will lead a walk to show how plants and animals benefit from habitat restoration and point out unique features of the open space. The Broom Busters have been battling broom, bull thistle and other non-native plants since 1997, and they need reinforcements.  Workdays are usually the first Saturday morning each month.  The requirements are simple:  "Come when you can; leave when you must."  No experience is needed. To volunteer or to receive e-mail announcements of future workdays, call the Volunteer Coordinator at Marin County Parks - (415) 499-3778. Back to Top
