We recognize that the Don Edwards SF Bay NWR Refuge sits on the unceded land of many bands of the Ohlone people. This land continues to be of great importance to the Ohlone people and all familial descendants of the Chochenyo, Ramaytush, and Tamyen language groups. We want to recognize this land's history, and the Ohlone people are alive and flourishing members of our nearby communities and the broader Bay Area communities today.
This program is brought to you by the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society (SFBWS) and the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP). Check out these links for more information: http://sfbayws.org/ & http://www.mywatershedwatch.org/.
