Celebrating 50 Years of Conservation at Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge

On June 30th, 1972, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge was officially established as part of the National Wildlife Refuge system and became America's first and largest urban national wildlife refuge ! As part of the celebration, we are throwing a birthday party! Our event Celebrating 50 Years of Conservation: Past, Present and Future aims to celebrate and honor the past, present, and future and inspire people to experience, connect with, and protect our cultural and natural resources. We hope you join us in helping with the celebration on July 2nd. The event will be an open house, with time to explore the Refuge, learn about the history of the Refuge, join a Nature Walk, food, music, and fun for all!
