Join Ceal Craig, Ph.D., a 20+ year volunteer for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, for a unique opportunity to dive into the history of Drawbridge, a historic town that once housed a thriving community on an island along the South San Francisco Bay. How did this community survive in the marshlands? Why is it now a ghost town?
The presentation will take place in person in the auditorium of the Environmental Education Center of the Don Edwards SF Bay NWR. Afterward, we invite you to take a stroll on the New Chicago Marsh boardwalk to enjoy the sunset!
