The Giant Slide Towards Summer

Well it's official, summer is almost here. There is a lot to do in these last few weeks of school and our preparations for Creekside are in full gear!

We still need volunteers and staff so keep reaching out - many hands really do make light work.

RESOURCES
Southern Marin Fire Update

  • Shoreline HWY Fuel Break Project Work Has Begun: The Southern Marin Fire Protection District is currently working to establish a shaded fuel break by means of a forest health restoration project in Tamalpais Valley. This project will reduce flammable and encroaching vegetation along Shoreline Highway, our main evacuation route in Tamalpais Valley. The footprint of this project will start near the Junction of Shoreline and Almonte and will extend to Southern Marin Fire District’s jurisdictional boundary at Erica Road. Learn More.

  • Wildfire Behavior, Evacuation and Video Resources - Do you know how wildfires behave in untreated vs treated areas? The full answer to this requires an understanding of vegetation management, home hardening, and defensible space. Learn More

  • Spring Into Creating Your Defensible Space Zone - It’s that time again to start clearing your Defensible Space around your home. Get ahead and take on vegetation while it is still manageable. Schedule your complimentary service today. Learn More
The Marin Chipper Program is Back!

The Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority is happy to announce that the Chipper Program has returned for 2024. The program provides for the curbside pickup, chipping, and disposal of vegetation material from residential properties. 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.

The 2024 program is returning with a similar schedule as last year, along with a few new features that will improve the participant experience.
