The Wild World of Plant Galls
Source: Marin County Parks
Meet at Mount Burdell at the gate on San Andreas Dr in Novato.
Sunday, August 22, 2021, 9am – 12pm
There are many ingenious creatures that have devised ways to trick plants into growing structures, called galls, which shelter and feed them. We’ll examine an amazing array of bizarre and beautiful galls as we learn the incredible life cycles of the gall makers. We'll be off-trail part of the time so long pants and sturdy shoes are recommended.
Remember to bring binoculars if you have them. Extreme weather conditions cancel: Call (415) 473-6086 after 7 am on the morning of the event to hear a recorded message if canceled. We request that no pets (except service animals) attend.
Questions: Contact Shannon Burke at SBurke@marincounty.org
Directions: From Hwy 101 in Novato, take the exit for San Marin Dr west 2.3 miles. Turn right onto San Andreas Dr and follow approximately 0.5 miles. The gate is on the right (before dead end).
