Join rangers and learn about the amazing story of our local salmon. Born in Marin’s streams, these fish venture out into the vast Pacific Ocean to feed and grow. When they are ready to spawn, they reverse the journey and return home to begin the next generation. We will carpool to Shafter Bridge to view waterfalls and a salmon spawning area. We will also discuss watersheds and the impacts we have on them. Dress in layers, wear sturdy shoes (it could be muddy or slippery), and bring water and snacks. Bring polarized glasses if you have them to reduce glare on the water. Heavy rain will cancel the event. Questions: Contact Ranger Gabe Ngarangad at (415) 473-2816 or GNgarangad @marincounty.org. Meet at the gate on Redwood Canyon Dr in San Geronimo. DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in San Rafael, take exit 452 for Central San Rafael west. Follow 3rd St approximately 1 mile.
