8:00–11:00 AM · Pacheco Marsh
Pacheco Marsh Bioblitz & Volunteer Day
One year of the marsh — come celebrate
Pacheco Marsh opened to the public one year ago. In that time, we’ve watched it come alive — birds, native plants, and wildlife returning to a landscape that’s been years in the making. Come celebrate with us, and help us keep it that way.
The morning has two parts: a guided bioblitz walk to document the marsh’s species, followed by hands-on iceplant removal. All skill levels welcome.
Part 1 · Bioblitz Walk
8:00–10:00 AM
We’ll explore the marsh with iNaturalist, documenting every plant, bird, insect, and critter we can find. Staff will share what makes Pacheco Marsh ecologically significant. Approximately 2 miles, flat, open terrain — no shade.
Part 2 · Iceplant Removal
10:00–11:00 AM
We’ll close the morning with an hour of hands-on stewardship. You’ll learn how JMLT manages invasive species across our properties — and leave having made a real difference.
What to bring
Hat & sunscreen · Water · Sturdy closed-toe shoes · Work gloves (extras on hand)
