San Geronimo Valley Salmon

Directions: Meet in San Geronimo at the San Geronimo Commons parking area (5800 Sir Francis Drake Blvd – previously the golf course clubhouse). From Hwy 101 in Larkspur, take the exit for Sir Francis Drake Blvd west 10.2 miles.

Accommodation Information: If you are a person with a disability and require an accommodation to participate in a County program, service, or activity, requests may be made by calling 415-473-4381 (Voice), Dial 711 for CA Relay, or by submitting a Disability Accommodation Request at least five business days in advance of the event. We will do our best to fulfill requests received with less than five business days’ notice. Copies of documents are available in alternative formats upon request.
Each year, several species of Pacific salmon migrate up certain creeks to breed. We’ll look for evidence of fish as we discuss the biology of these remarkable animals. The timing of these activities is subject to numerous environmental variables, but if we're lucky and have had enough rain, we might observe spawning activity. We'll be joined by Ayano Hayes, with the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN), who will discuss the recent restoration project here. It can be very cold by the creek so bring warm clothing; binoculars and polarized glasses are helpful to see the fish better. No pets (except service dogs) are allowed. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel. Registration is required.
