You can come join Save The Bay at the Restoration Project’s Ravenswood Ponds to help clear invasive plants and make room for native seedlings!
Native plants are the backbone holding the earth at the newly constructed All American Canal upland transition zone together. The invasive species we will be pulling threaten to crowd them out and deprive all of the species (including humans!) that benefit from healthy salt marshes.
Join biologists at Eden Landing Ecological Reserve to view one of the few breeding colonies of the endangered California Least Tern in the San Francisco Bay!
The group at the free San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO) event will look for adults incubating nests, young downy chicks being fed by their parents, older feathered chicks running around the colony, and fledglings learning to fly!
Participants are urged to bring their own spotting scopes. SFBBO will have a few to share.
Come join Save The Bay at their Ravenswood site to participate in California Invasive Species Action Week! Invasive species degrade habitat by crowding out the California native species that our landscapes and wildlife have adapted to live with. The crew will be pulling invasive plant species to make way for the native plants that Save The Bay staff and volunteers put in the ground earlier this year to support healthy salt marsh ecosystems. Please dress according to weather and bring water.
Join us for a walking tour to learn about South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project Phase 2 recreation, restoration and flood risk management plans for southern Eden Landing.
The 2- to 3-mile guided field tour will be held, along with a van tour that required RSVPs and now has full registration, at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s reserve. The walking tour does not require reservations.
Come to Eden Landing to stomp mud, all to help a threatened little bird!
Join the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory at a new restoration site at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Eden Landing Ecological Reserve in Union City.
Join the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Earth Day at the Refuge to celebrate our Earth and its endangered species & learn how we can do our part to protect them!
Join Save the Bay March 18th at Eden Landing to help weed, mulch, and maintain our beautiful new native plants, just planted in January! Please dress for any weather (we will run programs in light rain), wear closed toed shoes, and bring water.

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 Save The Bay on the shoreline at Eden Landing Ecological Reserve to help take care of their brand new site along the road to the kayak launch. They’ll be weeding, mulching, and watering the native plants that are going out this winter. Save The Bay strives to include volunteers of all abilities in their programs.
Register here.
If you have specific access needs, please reach out to [email protected] to coordinate.
Join us on a 2-mile bike ride along the San Francisco Bay Shoreline to Alviso to see the highest tides of the year. Meet at Baylands Park, Sunnyvale, and join Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition to see how the South Bay is responding with massive construction projects to combat the effects of climate change and sea level rise.
Wilson's and Red-necked Phalaropes are tiny but charismatic shorebirds that rely on saline lakes like Mono Lake and Owens Lake as their most critical gas stations on their epic migration to South America. Saline lakes are threatened worldwide by water diversion and climate change, and presumably phalaropes are threatened along with them.
Save The Bay needs your help at its nursery in Bedwell Bayfront Park, Menlo Park. Habitat restorers and volunteers will be weeding and preparing plants for their journey to the outside world!
Upon registering, folks will receive confirmation and directions.
As part of its Adaptive Management Plan, the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project tracks habitat evolution and change in South San Francisco Bay, with particular focus on changes to marsh vegetation and mudflat acreages.
Want to learn more about the large-scale restoration projects taking place around the San Francisco Bay? Interested in how the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and its partners undertake daily restoration activities? Looking to improve your outdoor spaces and make them more watershed-friendly and drought-resistant?
Help restore our Bay and get some much needed fresh air at the Refuge!
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.
You are invited to a celebratory Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge 50th anniversary open house, including guided walks, ranger talks, crafts and activities, refreshments, and fun for all!
Here is the day's activities:
