Coyote Point Habitat Restoration

Coyote Point is a space that features a wide variety of recreational activities, from picnic areas to the marina to CuriOdyssey. Beyond its popular recreational facilities, this park also serves as a home to the threatened Ridgway’s rail and many other special shorebirds. If you want to help protect these shorebirds and their habitat, come join us Saturday, March 26th as we restore these crucial wetlands by removing invasive weeds that threaten them!

We ask that you wear closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting dirty for your protection and comfort. We also recommend that you bring a personal water bottle for each member of your group; drinking water may not always be available at our volunteer sites. Sunscreen, snacks, hats, and layers are also great to have on hand in case the weather gets warm or cold! If weather conditions are deemed too extreme, this event may be canceled and we will reach out to participants by email.

If signing up as a family or a group, please adjust the number of volunteer sign-ups according to the number of volunteers in your party when filling out your registration form. Groups of eight or more must contact sprado@smcgov.org at least 3 weeks in advance to register. Volunteers under the age of 18 must be registered by a parent or guardian. Youth under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.

We will be following current state protocols in regards to COVID-19 (subject to change by the time of the event). Masks are not required when outdoors and distanced from other volunteers; we ask that you wear a face mask or face covering when you are within 6 feet of others. All volunteer events held by San Mateo County Volunteer Stewardship have a maximum capacity of 30 volunteers (not including staff).

A reminder email with more detailed instructions on the day’s activities and where to meet will also be sent in advance of the event. We look forward to seeing you in the parks!

Please direct questions and comments for this event to Samantha Prado at sprado@smcgov.org.
