Description
Join the City of San Rafael, Marin County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program, and the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership
for a day of giving back in honor of Cesar Chavez.
Mahon Creek is part of the San Rafael Watershed that flows into the San Rafael Canal and out to the Bay. It is home to river otters, sea birds, mice, fish, and the occasional ray. Mahon Path is a popular walkway between central San Rafael areas and the Transit Center, and accumulates a lot of trash, broken glass, and other debris that can find its way into the creek. In addition, native plants and landscaping are getting crowded out by invasive species and weeds. With your help we can restore the creek line and path to a beautiful and healthy natural area that both humans and wildlife can enjoy and thrive in.
What to bring/Other Info
Wear layered clothing, bring a hat and sunscreen, sturdy shoes
(no open toes please!), and gloves if you have them.
