It is planting season! All the work Save The Bay has done throughout the year collecting seed, growing and caring for precious native plants has been leading to this moment right as the seasonal rains approach. They hope you will join them in putting these plants in the ground at the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife's Eden Landing Ecological Reserve, where they will restore former industrial salt ponds into healthier salt marsh habitat for all.
