SUMMARY:Chicken Ranch Beach Wetland Enhancement Project
DESCRIPTION:So far with the help of many wonderful volunteers\, interns\, and the West Coast Wild Restoration Crew\, SPAWN and the Tomales Bay Foundation have installed 4\,400 locally native plants in the upland areas. We also now have a temporary irrigation system (so no more hauling water!). \nThis almost one year old wetland restoration project has been created in an effort to filter and clean the water running through it. The plants intended for the lower wet areas in the channel are key in slowing and cleaning the water. Now that the water levels are going down we have a chance to get a key element of the biogeochemical filtration process going by planting in newly exposed wet areas. \nCome join us as we resume planting and continue to care for the site. \nThe remaining 3\,200 wetland plants are to be installed as conditions permit between now and when the rains return. Once the planting is complete\, we as a community will have installed 7\,600 native plants! \nExperience is helpful but not required. We will assist you in identifying target weeds (always happy to share plant knowledge) and planting techniques. \nWe have gloves and tools\, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Feel free to email with questions. khopper@tirn.net \nHope to see you out at Chicken Ranch Beach in Inverness!

SUMMARY:Chicken Ranch Beach Wetland Enhancement Project
DESCRIPTION:So far with the help of many wonderful volunteers\, interns\, and the West Coast Wild Restoration Crew\, SPAWN and the Tomales Bay Foundation have installed 4\,400 locally native plants in the upland areas. We also now have a temporary irrigation system (so no more hauling water!). \nThis almost one year old wetland restoration project has been created in an effort to filter and clean the water running through it. The plants intended for the lower wet areas in the channel are key in slowing and cleaning the water. Now that the water levels are going down we have a chance to get a key element of the biogeochemical filtration process going by planting in newly exposed wet areas. \nCome join us as we resume planting and continue to care for the site. \nThe remaining 3\,200 wetland plants are to be installed as conditions permit between now and when the rains return. Once the planting is complete\, we as a community will have installed 7\,600 native plants! \nExperience is helpful but not required. We will assist you in identifying target weeds (always happy to share plant knowledge) and planting techniques. \nWe have gloves and tools\, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Feel free to email with questions. khopper@tirn.net \nHope to see you out at Chicken Ranch Beach in Inverness!

DESCRIPTION:We are re-organizing and upgrading our native plant restoration nursery to improve work flow\, space management and phytosanitation. We are currently in the process of up-grading our potting mix storage area to keep growing media clean\, re-grading and improving the growing ground floor to improve drainage\, renovating exiting nursery benches\, realigning the benches and installing a water-wise irrigation system. \nTo re-do the growing ground floor we will need to move all of the plants out of the area and onto temporary benches outside of the nursery footprint. All of the work requires many hands\, so please have a look to see where you can fit into the schedule! \nFor any questions\, email Khopper@tirn.net
