Original Board Members at first JV habitat restoration event – Oro Loma
|
On October 25, current and founding Management Board members, past
chairs and other key supporters and decision makers gathered at the Lyford House on the Richardson Bay Audubon sanctuary, to celebrate 20 years of protecting wetlands.
As the site where our original working agreement was finalized, the venue offered the perfect gathering place for bringing together a stellar crowd of dedicated people who have been working on behalf of a variety of wetland habitats and wildlife throughout the nine counties surrounding SF Bay for the past two decades.

In addition to the habitat accomplishments made by this amazing group of people, what characterizes our partnership perhaps most of all has been the ability to work together, encourage diverse points of view, and ultimately develop relationships that have become true friendships over the years. And this, according to Jerry Kay who interviewed all our founding members at the event, is the JV “special sauce”.
