The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is a vital sanctuary for migratory birds and endangered species in the heart of California's bustling high-tech industry. With 30,000 acres of diverse habitat, this urban oasis offers both critical conservation efforts and opportunities for visitors to connect with nature.
Established in 1972 through local activism, the refuge's Beneficial Reuse Project aims to enhance tidal marsh habitat restoration by repurposing excavated material in former salt production ponds around South San Francisco Bay. Through projects, research, and public engagement, the refuge continues to play a crucial role in wildlife conservation and environmental education.
