Giacomini Wetlands Restoration Project
The Giacomini Wetlands Restoration Project, scheduled for 2007 - 2008, will restore over 550 acres of wetlands at the headwaters of Tomales Bay. Funding for this project has been provided by individual donations and major grants from the California Coastal Conservancy, California State Water Board, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. For more information on this project, please visit the National Park Service's Giacomini Wetlands Restoration Project site.
Come be part of the restoration process by helping us plant wetlands!

Volunteer planting days will be held on Thursday March 20th, Friday March 28th, Friday April 4th and Saturday April 19th (Earth Day). The Park Service is also organizing volunteer planting days for local schools, community groups, universities, and other interested organizations on these and other days by prior arrangement.
