- Barbara Salzman, President and longtime project manager with Marin Audubon Society and pioneer of wetland restoration in the area.
- Ralph Boniello, Alameda Creek Alliance, with briefs on how environmental groups can take part in the upcoming March for Science, as well as a collection of ideas for outreach to kids -- timely for spring tabling!
- Christina McWhorter, Hamilton Wetlands Native Plant Nursery Manager, will speak on the 2,600-acre Hamilton/Bel Marin Keys restoration project, where dredge spoil was used to "refill" the diked and sunken Hamilton airfield, re-opened to the tides in 2014.

Following the meeting there will be a brief optional tour of the Hamilton Wetlands.
