A new program will begin at 10am to noon and will show interested participants who want to get out into nature but are unsure how.

At 2pm the annual Easter Golf Ball Hunt and Egg Exchange will take place at the center. It is free and open to all ages. You will hunt for golf balls on the grass in front of the building and then exchange for bags of goodies.

Have a great Earth Day and Easter Weekend! Come on out to Mare Island Shoreline Preserve for Earth Day Festivities.

Once a month the public can visit the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve. This Saturday, Sept 11th is the day for September! Our September weather is usually mild and perfect for an outing before the chill of fall descends upon us.

There will be an ice cream social at 2pm, just in time for an afternoon break. The Preserve is open at 9am and ends at 7pm. Starting at 930am a Sierra Club hiker-leader will take participants on a hike to the historic south shore. The hike lasts about 2 hours so make sure you dress appropriately with good shoes for walking. Bring water so you do not get dehydrated.

Mare Island is rich in history as it was a naval base for many years. It is a beautiful getaway for a day adventure and picnic. Gather your friends and family and make your way there. The Preserve's entrance is at the southern end of Railroad Ave.

Mare Island has affordable single family homes for sale. What a great place to live....secluded, yet close to San Francisco and the Bay Area.
