Turkey Fest at Deer Island-Meet at 305 Deer Island Lane
Join rangers for a leisurely Thanksgiving hike around Deer Island. Come learn interesting facts about the non-native turkeys that are common in Marin: How they came to be here and what impact they have on the local ecosystem. We’ll also talk about the Coast Miwok, the native plants and animals used by them, and how Thanksgiving would be different if pilgrims had landed in Marin. All ages and abilities are welcome. Please dress warmly. Rain will cancel. Questions: Call (415) 473-2816. Meet at the Deer Island Open Space gate. From Hwy 101 in Novato, take the Atherton Ave/San Marin Dr exit east on Atherton Ave, turn right at Olive Ave, and turn left at Deer Island Ln.
