Nature for Kids at Deer Island - Meet at Deer Island Preserve

The forests, grasslands and marshes of this Novato preserve are home to a great variety of reptiles, insects, birds and other animals. Bring your favorite junior naturalists and prepare to be amazed at what their sharp eyes can find.

We request that no animals (except service animals) attend. David Herlocker will lead. Questions: Contact David at (415) 893-9508 or dherlocker@marincounty.org. Heavy rain may cancel. Call (415) 893-9527 on the morning of the walk to hear a recorded message if cancelled. Meet at the Deer Island Trailhead (305 Deer Island Lane): from Hwy 101, take the Atherton Ave/San Marin Dr exit, go east on Atherton Ave, turn right at Olive Ave, and turn left at Deer Island Lane.
