Help us with maintain and improve the habitat and trails at the Environmental Education Center at the Don Edwards SF Bay NWR!

Other Considerations:

  • We encourage everyone to wear comfortable clothing, long pants, warm layers, and sturdy closed-toe shoes - all that you don't mind getting a little dirty!
  • Restrooms will be available on-site in the form of an ADA-compliant portable toilet and hand-washing station.
  • We highly recommend that you bring a filled reusable water bottle to stay hydrated while reducing plastic pollution!
  • If you need any accommodations or would like to know more about volunteer hours, please reach out to watershedwatchers@sfbayws.org.
