Giacomini Wetlands Tour
Join Point Reyes National Seashore Wetland Ecologist Lorraine Parsons for a walking tour of the newly restored Giacomini Wetlands. This rapidly recovering salt marsh is the result of a 10-year project that culminated in the October, 2008, breaching of a series of dikes and levees that had blocked the flow of saltwater to the former Giacomini Dairy. Parsons will describe the restoration in detail and point out the fascinating ecological changes underway. Learn about marsh ecology; restoration history; wetlands birds. Maury Stern will point out the birds. Easy walking.
