Make a Difference

Dig in along the shoreline at a restoration program, or join us for our annual Bay Day celebration. Discover how you can get involved. 

Every year, Save The Bay grows and plants around 35,000 to 100,000 native plants. But this is only possible, thanks to volunteers like you! Join us for a day along the shoreline at one of our restoration sites around San Francisco Bay and help our wetlands grow. 

All restoration volunteer programs include:

  • At least one Project Leader from the Habitat Restoration Team, certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED
  • Introduction to Save The Bay and San Francisco Bay history and ecology
  • Gloves, tools, and all necessary equipment
  • Restoration project direction and tool safety instruction
  • Sunscreen and water

Youth under 18 need to be signed in by their parent/guardian. Youth under 13 need to be signed in and accompanied by their parent/guardian.
