OLEMA, Calif. — The Salmon Protection And Watershed Network (SPAWN) is offering a certification course in partnership with the University of California to train the next generation of skilled naturalists in California.
The course will be taught in Olema by a team of expert naturalists and focuses on the geology, biodiversity, and rare species-—including the Bay Area’s critically endangered coho salmon—in the Lagunitas Creek Watershed and the Point Reyes peninsula in West Marin County.
“This is a unique opportunity to learn from Marin’s many naturalist experts in a world-class outdoor classroom,” said course instructor Harry McGrath. “The conservation of Marin’s wild places can be traced back to people who truly understand the interconnection of nature’s many facets, and we are training more of those people with this course.”
