San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center Fremont, CA

Join us for a day of conservation and community bonding at the Don Edwards SF Bay National Wildlife Refuge!

Welcome, Nature Enthusiasts!
Join us for Stewardship Sunday at the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge on March 8, 2026, at 9:00 AM (Pacific Time). We’ll meet at the Visitor Center to kick off a day dedicated to conservation and exploration.

Together, we’ll take part in hands-on activities that help protect and enhance the refuge’s natural habitat. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, learn about local wildlife, and make a positive impact on the environment.

This March’s Focus:
We’ll be working on removing invasive plant species along trails and high-traffic areas. Get ready to immerse yourself in nature through meaningful, physical engagement!

What to Bring:

  • Comfortable clothing
  • Sturdy shoes
  • A reusable water bottle
  • Your own gloves (we’ll provide all other tools and guidance)

Don’t miss this chance to give back to the community while enjoying the beauty of nature.

See you there!

To volunteer for us, you need to fill a volunteer agreement form, which we will send you a couple days before the event at the email you registered with. Please notice that we need a form for each one of the participants. Notice that signatures are on the second page. Minors need to have the form filled with their information and signed by their parent/guardian. Please do not omit this step! We are asking you, if possible, to fill and print the form at home and bring it with you to expedite the process. However, we will have some blank forms for you to fill, if you cannot have it ready in advance.

For those that are seeking to complete a schedule of conservation hours, we can sign any special form you need at the end of the event, or provide a verification letter after the event (please let us know at the day of the event ).
