Drawbridge Van Excursion - Summer
Event Information
Description
An abandoned town in the San Francisco Bay? That’s right! Nestled on an island in the salt marshes of South San Francisco Bay, the town of Drawbridge once boomed. Was it a quiet, peaceful town full of nature lovers, or people scrabbling out a living? How long did it exist? Find out at this program, led by Ceal Craig, our Drawbridge expert. Start with a slide show, and then take a short van excursion to view Drawbridge across Coyote Creek. Program will be of most interest to adults interested in history or nature; children 13 and over with an adult are welcome. Space is very limited.

Containing almost 30,000 acres of estuarine habitat, uplands, open water, mudflats, salt ponds, and salt marshes, including much of southern San Francisco Bay, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge provides habitat for many wildlife. Its purpose is to protect wildlife habitat for endangered species and migratory birds, and to offer opportunities for nature study. The refuge has two main facilities - an Environmental Education Center (EEC) in Alviso and a Visitor Contact Station in Fremont. The EEC in Alviso is normally open Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m and the Visitor Contact Station is normally open Wednesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Both the EEC and Visitor Center are currently closed to the public and closed on all federal holidays.
