April 3 Meeting with Laura Chariton

Join GWC in welcoming Laura Chariton, a watershed specialist from Mill Valley. She will talk about Marin creeks and some of the common problems watershed groups face with outdated and conflicting policies. Meet at 7 pm at MarinLink offices above Northgate Mall food court.

We will also discuss Marin County's proposed Stream Conservation Area Ordinance and where it succeeds and falls short of protecting Marin creeks. This ordinance affects all the unincorporated area of Marin.  The Planning Commission is holding hearings on the ordinance on April 1 and May 13 before it goes to the Board of Supervisors on June 18.

Please come! There's a lot going on!

Watershed Tours
Hydrologist Rachel Kamman will lead the third of her inspiring watershed tours on Sat. April 20 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. This tour will explore the urban middle part of Gallinas Creek, the cement channel impacted area that still tries to be a real creek! Meet at  the Northwest corner of the Embassy Suites Hotel parking lot for car shuttle.

Monthly Meetings
The GWC Board meets on the first Wednesday of the month at the MarinLink offices, on the second floor of the Northgate Mall above the food court. Meetings are from 7 - 9 pm. All are invited and encouraged to attend. We discuss many matters of interest concerning our local area and creeks in general.

The following month's meeting will be on Wed. May 1 with San Rafael City Councilmember Damon Connolly as our guest speaker.

See you in the watershed!
