You can join the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO) and the Restoration Project to help improve nesting habitat for threatened western snowy plovers and endangered California least terns! Staff and volunteers will spread oyster shells donated from area restaurants on a dry pond bottom. 

This event is open to all ages, but please note that there are no restroom facilities at the site. Volunteers will have to drive on a graded dirt road for a short distance. Due to access restrictions, all volunteers will need to stay for the duration of the event.

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.
