  • JOIN US!!! Here’S Where YOU Come Into the Picture
    Newsletter Issue 44 Fall 2014 It’s 50 years ago and San Francisco Bay’s wetlands are under attack from uncontrolled development and corporate greed. ASTOUNDING!! A small band of ordinary Citizens come together to take on these potent forces AND WIN!! The San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge is created protecting many threatened wetlands! Hope is restored and the citizens put away their superhero costumes and return to normal life. Art courtesy of Sam High DISHEARTENED ! It isn’t over. Twenty years later aggressive development once again threatens wetlands not included within the Refuge. UNDAUNTED!! The band of Citizens rises again. New heroes and heroines join the fray. AMAZING!! International conglomerates are defeated, local developers prove powerless against the band of Citizens. SATISFYING!! The Refuge boundary is expanded and new wetlands are acquired and protected. The Refuge is renamed the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Despite its long name the Refuge flourishes. The Citizens again return to their daily lives. GLOOM!!! Thirty years later..... At this very moment!!! Crucial wetlands face destruction. The wetlands of Newark’s Area 4 and Redwood City’s salt ponds are home for breeding harbor seals, tens of thousands of shorebirds and waterfowl and for several endangered critters. These wetlands clean our water and our air and provide a necessary home for our bay’s fish and shellfish. But the Bay Area’s richest developers and the nation’s largest privately held corporation don’t care. They just see dollar signs. INCREDIBLE!!! The band of Citizens awakens once again to face its most daunting challenge.

These resources contribute tremendously to the quality of life in Redwood City and allow residents to enjoy and experience features not found in many urban environments. We must take care as most natural resources are not replenishable. This Element focuses on preserving, protecting, conserving, re‐using, and efficiently using Redwood City’s natural resources.
