Deer Island

Rising above the surrounding marshland and
pastures, the mix of forest and grassland here are a great place to see raptors
and other birds that spend the winter here. We will discuss the changes that
take place in the plant and animal communities as the wet season begins. Bring
a lunch. This walk is for ages 15 and up. We request
that no pets (except service animals) attend. Heavy rain may cancel. If
questionable weather, call (415) 893-9527 on the morning of the walk for a
recorded message to see if the walk is cancelled. Shannon Burke will lead.
Questions: contact Shannon at (415) 893-9520 or SBurke@marincounty.org. Meet at the gate on Deer Island Ln
in Novato. DIRECTIONS: from Hwy 101 in Novato, take exit 463 for Atherton Ave
east 1.7 miles. Turn right onto Olive Ave and left onto Deer Island Ln. The
gate is on your right.
