that worked on bringing back the salmon in
West Marin before any of the other organizations showed much interest. NB TU is
still working on the project, along with the
National Park Service, the Marin Municipal
Water District and the Department of Fish
and Wildlife. And Roy’s Dam — that was
an NBTU project led by Leo Cronin; I was
very much involved as one of many Trout

Go Native
I found your cover story this month (“The
Plant Bug,” October) to be very strange and
rather disappointing. Instead a focus on the
county’s native plants — a hot topic in Marin
right now — would have been better. There
are 1,400 acres on Mount Tamalpais that
are inundated with either invasive plants or
diseased plants, only half of which the water
district is making even a small attempt to
control. It is estimated that we have lost 50
floral species unique to the mountain over the
last 50 years. While the anti-Roundup folks
rail at the supervisors, the invasives grow by
leaps and bounds and the endemic species
are crowded out. If you are not interested in
inspiring people to use native plants in home
gardens, at least cover what is happening to
them in the wild so people know we are losing the race against the imported weeds. Or
better yet, do both. LAURA LOVE T T, MARIN CHAP TER,
