First Wednesday: Turning the Tide - Saving Richardson Bay, with Dave Gotz

First Wednesday: Turning the Tide - Saving Richardson Bay, with Dave Gotz In-Person

Join Dave Gotz, the Town of Tiburon's Historian, for a presentation of his film, Turning the Tide: Saving Richardson Bay. This 50-minute video retells through interviews, archival photographs, and vintage film the story of this pivotal event in Tiburon Peninsula history, and one of the earliest environmental preservation efforts in Marin County: the dramatic community effort to block a massive, 2000-home development called Reeds Port. The film also covers the rescue and transport of the Lyford House and the story of Rose Verrall, Tiburon's "Goat Lady," who donated the valuable land which now serves as the site for the Richardson Bay Audobon Center.
