Volunteer Habitat Restoration Day at Eden Landing

Event flyer
Event flyer

Join ecologists with the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO) to help restore habitat for birds and other wildlife at Eden Landing Ecological Reserve in Union City! Volunteers will get to tour a brand new South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project restoration site that was just seeded and planted by SFBBO in fall-winter 2022-2023. The restoration site is not normally accessible to the public, so volunteers will get special access to a restricted area while helping us remove invasive weeds like wild radish, mustard, and poison hemlock.

Join the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory to help enhance habitat for snowy plovers and least terns!

Volunteers will gather at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Eden Landing Ecological Reserve in Hayward to remove predator perches, trim overgrown vegetation, and spread oyster shells to help camouflage the protected birds from predators. These activities will help improve the breeding success of these protected species.

Eden Landing supports a large proportion of the Bay's plover and least tern breeding each year.
