Join Sustainable Fairfax for this 2-mile (mostly) flat walk through the Oak Knoll neighborhood on Saturday, July 16. We’ll meet at the Center Blvd entrance of Good Earth Natural Foods at 5 pm and walk east through this historic neighborhood, meandering close to San Anselmo Creek through picturesque streets, alleys and across bridges. At Saunders we will loop back via San Anselmo Avenue, with some history stops at Lansdale and Yolanda stations.

Judy Coy of the San Anselmo Historical Society will be joining us for the walk to provide us with some introductory comments about the history of this area.

Post-walk dinner or snack with group optional.

Fairfax on Foot- Walk to Broom Pull for Earth Day

April 23, 2016 by Jennifer Hammond Leave a Comment

Looking for something to do on Earth Day weekend? How about a nice walk with Sustainable Fairfax to the Marin Stables to help MMWD and One Tam remove French Broom, a harmful non-native plant.

We will meet at the Fairfax Coffee Roastery between 8:15 and 8:25 to walk up to the Marin Stables at the end of Wood Lane to participate in a Broom Pull sponsored by Marin Stables, MMWD and One Tam.

The Broom Pull Work Party on the Canyon and Moore Trails runs from 9-12 noon. Find out about the Broom Pull and Register for the Work Party here (registration appreciated but not required).

After the Broom Pull (12 noon), we plan to leave the Marin Stables area for a 1.6 mile loop walk in the watershed to Deer Park and back to Town. This walk is optional.

8:15a.m.: Meet at Fairfax Coffee Roastery
9:a.m. – 12 noon: MMWD/Marin Stables Broom Pull
12 Noon: Optional walk back to Town via Deer Park (1.8 miles)

Feel free to join for any or all of these activities to preserve and enjoy our watershed!

Wear sturdy shoes with tread. Light rain okay (in which case bring rain gear); heavy rain cancels. Gardening gloves for the broom pull would be helpful, as would a hat to shade from sun.

Questions and/or RSVP: SustainableLisel@gmail.com

These walks are a part of our ReduceX2 campaign to help us rethink out transportation options and enjoy life more! Find out more here.

Fairfax on Foot: Adventure Walk – Rocca Steps & Beyond

January 31, 2016 by Sustainable Fairfax Leave a Comment

Fairfax Walk #3-
Meet at the Fairfax Coffee Roastery, 4 Bolinas Road, Fairfax at 10:00am

Distance: 1.5 STEEP miles; wear shoes with tread
Duration: 1.5 – 2 hours

In this walk about town, Sustainable Fairfax will join Fairfax Council Member John Reed for a ramble on the Rocca neighborhood stairs, and possibly over to the Wall Property to check out this lovely hillside. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our easement trails, find out what’s going on with the Wall Property, and get some exercise. Heavy rain cancels–light rain okay.

Please wear sturdy walking shoes with treads and be prepared for rain/drizzle. This walk is likely to be no more than 1.5 miles, but entails climbing a steep stairway and possibly a mud/dirt trail.

This walk is part of the Sustainable Fairfax Reduce by Two (RX2) initiative and inspired by the work of Council Member Reed and the Fairfax Volunteers on our historic easement trails. Find out more at: http://sustainablefairfax.org/initiative…
