It’s that time of the year when Mt. Tam is blooming and buzzing.

Join One Tam and take a closer look at the plants and arthropods of this special meadow habitat. We will focus on smartphone macro photography and extra tools will be available to take your observations and photos of small organisms to the next level. Additionally, local plant and bee experts will be joining for the day.
