It is planting season! All the work Save The Bay has done throughout the year collecting seed and growing and caring for our precious native plants has led to this moment of opportunity provided by the seasonal rains. You can join them in putting these plants in the ground at their newest site, at the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project's recently breached Pond R4, adjacent to Menlo Park's Bedwell Bayfront Park.

You can join Save The Bay at the Ravenswood Unit of Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge, adjacent to Menlo Park's Bedwell Bayfront Park, to help pull up invasive plants and maintain their beautiful new native plant community planted last winter! Native plants are the backbone holding the habitat together at the upland transition zone slope (also called a horizontal levee) recently constructed by the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project at the All American Canal. Depending on the site needs of the day, volunteers may even be able to plant some new native plant sod!
