Afternoon At the Lagoon: Helping Nature Take Its Course, April 13th, 2021, 6pm PST. Missed the event, no problem! Watch the YouTube recording HERE.

Why is nature our best bet for adapting to sea level rise? Join us to learn more about nature-based habitat restoration, exciting techniques called “living shorelines,”and our efforts to showcase them in the South End Living Shoreline Project. Learn how helping nature take its course can: 1) improve critical wetland, marsh, and upland habitat for native plants and wildlife, 2) reduce flooding and erosion, 3) minimize climate change impacts from storms and sea level rise, and 4) support the health, function, and resilience of Bolinas Lagoon’s ecosystem. We hope you join us!
