Green, Green Valley

With all this rain, the Valley is so lush! We hope you can get out and enjoy it this weekend. A huge thank you to everyone who came out last weekend to the Woolly Egg Ranch tour and the Earth Day Festival at the Community Center. We had beautiful weather and so many helpful hands making it happen. Please see our thank you section below for more about how we all came together to make a great first run!

Next up - Debris Day & Shred Day and then Hazardous Waste Day - so start cleaning out the garage and get ready! See more below.

Keep an eye out for all the changes at the Community Center. The bathroom remodel is moving right along, the main fences are done and we are expanding the gravel lot for even more fun to be had this summer and fall!

Have a wonderful weekend!
Community Survey - In Progress
 
The Tamalpais Community Services District has hired an independent public opinion research company to conduct a survey of residents to obtain feedback on key issues facing your community. Your input is highly valuable to the District’s future planning and services offered. We encourage you to participate and contribute your opinions in this survey.  

Surveying is in process and outreach effort will consist of phone calls, emails, and/or text messages. District residents will be randomly selected to participate in this survey and responses will be completely confidential.  The identity of individual respondents and their individual answers to survey questions will not be shared with District officials.  

 
Thank you for participating in this important research.

This service is funded by Measure C for wildfire prevention and is available to all residents within Marin Wildfire’s joint powers service area.

During the 2023 season, the program completed over 4,400 pickups and removed over 14,200 cubic yards of vegetation from residential properties. 90% of participants rated their experience a 5 out of 5.
