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:
Weeding Party: You are invited to join Santa Clara County Parks Natural Resource Management team, in partnership with San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory, in their efforts to restore the coastal habitat of Alviso Marina County Park.
Volunteers will assist in the removal of invasive plants and the spreading of mulch in preparation for the planting of native plants.
Please bring sturdy gloves, closed toe shoes (boots if possible), and your can-do attitudes! Youth and families are invited to participate.
Join San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory biologists at Eden Landing Ecological Reserve to view one of only six San Francisco Bay breeding colonies of endangered California least terns.
The group at the free 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.
Shorebirds are an exciting yet vexing group for birders to identify. At this free virtual event, Jon Dunn and Lara Tseng will discuss sandpipers: not only their identification, but also plumages, structure, molts, behavior, status and distribution. They will also talk about how to look at and study shorebirds – doing so requires some memorization but more importantly patience, love, and understanding of the many varied species in these families.
Amie MacDonald at the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory's Birdy Hour Speaker Series discusses the latest technological approach to tracking bird migration.
David Thomson, founder of San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory's Habitats Program, will discuss upland transition zone strategies and other activities of the Habitats Program during more than a decade of work at SFBBO's latest Birdy Hour.
Join Ceal Craig, Ph.D., a 20+ year volunteer for the U.S.
