Lunch and Learn Science: Trial and Tractor: Large-scale Habitat Transition Zone Revegetation in the Ravenswood Complex. Jessie Olson, Save The Bay

On May 14, 2025, as part of the 2024-25 Restoration Project Lunch and Learn Science Speaker Series, Jessie Olson, Habitat Restoration Director at Save The Bay, discussed the organization's cost-saving methods to revegetate and restore wildlife habitat at the Restoration Project's recently completed Ravenswood Ponds restoration site in Menlo Park. She shared the techniques the non-profit has developed that can be scaled up while reducing costs and labor. Save The Bay planted on the Restoration Project's newly constructed habitat transition zone slopes (also called “horizontal levees”) bordering restoring tidal marsh at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
