Come join Save The Bay at Ravenswood and help protect marshes from invasive plants! Invasive species degrade habitat by crowding out the California native species that our landscapes and wildlife have adapted to live with. Save The Bay will be pulling invasive plant species to make way for the native plants that staff and volunteers put in the ground. This will transform the degraded habitat around the pond the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project recently breached into healthy salt marsh habitat, giving wildlife good homes and our communities nature-based sea level rise protection!

It is planting season! All the work Save The Bay has done throughout the year collecting seed, growing and caring for our precious native plants has been leading to this moment of opportunity provided by the seasonal rains. Save The Bay invites you to join them in putting these plants in the ground at the Ravenswood Unit of Don Edwards NWR, adjacent to Bedwell Bayfront Park.

Come join Save The Bay at the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project Ravenswood Ponds site and help protect our marshes from invasive plants! 

Invasive species degrade habitat by crowding out the California native species that our landscapes and wildlife have adapted to live with. 

Save The Bay staff and volunteers will pull invasive plants to make way for the native plants that they put in the ground earlier this year on newly formed habitat slopes that are part of the Ravenswood construction to help wildlife. This work helps support healthy salt marsh ecosystems.
