• The chipper program will now offer 5 pickup opportunities to all residents within the MWPA jurisdiction. These events will be spaced evenly through the season and will occur roughly every 5 weeks for all residents
• The signup website has been improved! Residents will now be able to “drop a pin” at the exact location where they will be placing their pile. Piles will still need to be located close to the roadway and in an easily visible location for the crews.
• Residents will now be able to view their reservation status, so that they can verify if the pickup is still outstanding or has been retrieved if they are away from home. They will also be able to cancel from the same viewing page.
• Text alerts will be sent out at the beginning of each event week to remind those who have signed up that the chipper is coming.

The Chipper Day program is a great resource for residents who are looking to remove hazardous vegetation and create defeasible space around their home. The program’s increased pickup schedule will ensure that all residents have ample opportunities to take advantage of the service throughout the year. To sign up, please visit https://reserve.chipperday.com/marin and enter your address to view the dates that the chipper will be in your area and to sign up! If you have any questions, please email chipper@firesafemarin.org.

Someone you know might experience a mental illness or crisis. You can help them.
Did you know you’re more likely to encounter someone in emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack? Through this training, you’ll learn to implement the 5-step action plan and offer initial help to people with signs and symptoms of a mental illness or crisis, as well as connecting them with professional, peer, social, or self-help care.

For questions about this training, please contact Veronica Caldera.
