Salmon Spawning Season

With the start of winter rains, Coho salmon and Steelhead trout begin their journey up Olema Creek, Lagunitas Creek and other area streams in order to spawn. There are a number of locations in the vicinity of Point Reyes at which to observe this migration. Please be careful not to disturb spawning salmon.

Giacomini Wetland Restoration Project Phase II

While levee breaching might be complete, restoration is not entirely finished—construction will continue on the Mesa and on the Lagunitas Creek spur trail for a few more weeks, and active revegetation continues. The Lagunitas Creek spur trail will re-open on a limited basis starting Thursday, November 25 (Thanksgiving): please be aware that the trail may be closed at times for construction or that trucks and workers may be present on the trail. Field seminars and community planting days are complete for 2008, but look for future field seminars, events, and volunteer opportunities in 2009! Also, check back in the future for our new restoration update web page, coming soon.
