Un-bee-lieveable find!🐝🐝🐝 The Tamalpais Bee Lab has spotted a rare bee that hasn’t been documented in Marin for over 40 years: the San Francisco leaf-cutter bee (Trachusa gummifera)🐝🍃🎉     The species didn’t turn up in our initial surveys to inventory Marin’s wild bees—the project of our Tamalpais Bee Lab community science program—so the Bee lab designed a search party to try to find it and were successful!     Now, our scientists can learn more about this special species’ ecology. It’s hopeful news for Mt. Tamalpais’ biodiversity, and for other species that could still be out there.     To learn more about the San Francisco leaf-cutter bee please visit https://lnkd.in/g6UwQFnH.    The @OneTamalpais partnership mobilizes the resources of the @ParksConservancy, @GoldenGateNPS, @Marin.Water, @MarinCountyParks, and @MountTamalpaisStatePark to ensure a vibrant future for Mt. Tamalpais.💚    📷 : This photo is one of the first images ever taken of the San Francisco leaf-cutter bee (Trachusa gummifera) in its entirety. The bee had not been seen for decades before One Tam’s community science program found it in Marin County in 2024. This photo was taken by a professional biologist. Wildlife monitoring is conducted with appropriate training and handling under agency permits. © Sara Leon Guerrero/ Parks Conservancy Please reach out to [email protected] for information about using this image.

The Parks Conservancy, working with Marin County Parks as a part of the One Tam Partnership, was recently awarded a $1.7 million grant from the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority to support the planning of the Evolving Shorelines Project at Bothin Marsh Open Space Preserve and the Mill Valley-Sausalito Pathway. This is one of Marin County Parks’ most visited park units and the most vulnerable to sea level rise. “This project is exciting because Bothin Marsh is such a great place to bike, walk, and connect with the Bay shoreline and its unique ecosystem,” said Claire Mooney, ASLA, LEED AP , Vice President of Park Places & Innovation at the Parks Conservancy. “As we celebrate 10 years of the One Tam Partnership, we are looking forward to the continual creation of long-term strategies to protect these critically important open spaces.” Read more here: https://bit.ly/3QWdzB4
