Corte Madera Wilds
At the Pond, Town Park, Corte Madera
Habitat enhancement is underway!
The holding pond in Town Park, Corte Madera, also known as Pixley Pond, is more than just a body of water. It’s a lifeline for local wildlife and a gateway to the San Francisco Bay.
Over decades, invasive plants and altered landscapes have diminished its natural ability to support thriving ecosystems, filter pollutants, and sustain waterfowl and migratory birds.
Making way for wildlife
We’ve launched a habitat enhancement project to encourage more wildlife to this vital area using California native plants.
Our goal is to rejuvenate the pond’s border transforming it into a haven for biodiversity by replacing invasive species with salt tolerant native plants that support a variety of wildlife.
We aim to create a healthier watershed and a flourishing habitat for fish, waterfowl, songbirds, migratory birds, and many pollinators.
The first phase has begun and
planting is planned for early 2025.
