Today
an abundance of waterfowl and shorebirds feed, roost, and
nest in wetlands where just twenty years ago there were crystallizer
ponds. In 1972 these lands became part of the Don Edwards
San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Now where vacant
industrial buildings and empty parking lots could have stood,
wetlands have been restored providing habitat for the endangered
California clapper rail. It is a testament to what can be
accomplished with vision, passion, and a little hard work.

Home poster contest is closed. We have received 187

plants and animals. Thank you teachers and parents!
