What does it take to restore salt marshes to their natural beauty? And why should people care? Meander along the boardwalk with Docent Naturalists Bobbie Riedel and Melissa Hero to learn about the largest tidal wetland restoration project on the West Coast and the history of this special preserve. You'll discover the rich mosaic of salt marsh habitat, observe the impact of tidal systems, and look for shorebirds along the way. This leisurely-paced walk along the Bay Trail will leave you with an appreciation for the importance of the wetlands.
