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.
