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
