Earth Month Habitat Restoration at Eden Landing (Hayward)

Happy Earth Month! You can join Save The Bay at Eden Landing Ecological Reserve to help restore former industrial salt ponds into healthy salt marsh habitat! This vision includes turning vulnerable fields of invasive mustard and thistle into resilient shoreline full of natives like California Poppy, Sticky Monkeyflower and Marsh Gumplant. They will be pulling the invasive species crowding their recently planted native species, and will potentially be spreading mulch around native plants as well. We hope you will enjoy giving the baby native plants around the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project restoring tidal marsh the support they need to transform the land! The reserve is ownd and managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Please dress according to the weather, bring a water bottle and a snack. Gloves, hand picks, foam kneepads, shovels and/or other necessary tools will be provided. Pulling invasive plants can involve bending, lifting and walking over uneven terrain. Programs may be cancelled in the event of heavy winds, poor air quality and/or lightning.
