Chicken Ranch Beach Wetland Enhancement: Implementation

Tomales Bay Foundation, Marin County and the California Coastal Conservancy (with a grant from the US Fish and Wildlife Service) are implementing a project to eliminate contamination and to restore wetland habitat at Chicken Ranch Beach in Inverness, California. In our latest efforts we worked for more than 2 years with PCI and completed the 100% design, obtained permits and secured a lease from the State Lands Commission. We obtained further permits and hired contractors, and excavation was completed within the planning time frame August-October 2025.

Native plants are next. To volunteer on the planting crew Wednesday and Saturday mornings December 2025- January 2026 please send an email to steward@tomalesbayfoundation.org .
