Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge

The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge lies in the heart of California’s Silicon Valley - a 30,000-acre oasis for millions of migratory birds and endangered species. Neighboring Google and Facebook, the stunning wetlands and waterways of the refuge provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the booming tech industry, and allow residents of the surrounding communities to fish, hike, explore, and view wildlife. The refuge is currently spearheading a major wetlands restoration project and groundbreaking programs to mitigate rising water levels and flood risk due to climate change. In addition, a local Habitat Heroes program brings refuge staff together with teens in the community to foster environmental awareness and groom future environmental stewards.
