As we celebrate the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration's 20th anniversary, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge's 51st, and World Conservation Day, you can come explore a Menlo Park hidden gem for migratory shorebirds and nesting waterbirds!

You'll take a leisurely stroll with Wildlife Biologist Rachel Tertes along a Ravenswood pond with bird nesting islands just south of Dumbarton Bridge. You'll view a variety of waterbirds, including nesting terns and early visitors from the fall shorebird migration, and learn about the Restoration Project.
