Captain’s Message:

From everyone here at Bayview, our sincerest thanks for you continued
help and support throughout the year.
We wish you all a wonderful 2009!

Help Golden Gate Audubon Restore Critical Wetland Habitat in San
Francisco's Southern Waterfront!

As part of our ongoing efforts to restore wetlands in San Francisco Bay,
we will continue our efforts at Pier 94, throughout the year. Activities
include invasive plant removal, trash pickup, monitoring, and planting
in the fall. The site is home to native California Sea-blite, as well as
nesting shorebirds.

Next workday:
Saturday, January 10, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Pier 94 wetlands restoration workday. As part of our on-going efforts to
restore wetlands along San Francisco's southern waterfront, we'll work
to weed out the invasive Salsola Soda from our wetland and beach areas.
Come join us! Refreshments provided.

Directions to Pier 94: From the intersection of Third St.and Caesar
Chavez, head south on Third St.to the intersection with Cargo Way. Turn
LEFT onto Cargo Way, and then make an immediate LEFT onto the first
street on your left. Follow that road toward the bay, passing the grain
silos on your left, until it forces you to turn RIGHT near the temporary
office. There will a visible sign after you turn right, pointing to Pier
94. But just in case, head south about 100 yards and then make a LEFT
just north of the chain-link fence set in concrete. Head east along the
fence toward the bay, stopping at the Pier 94 restoration site about 100
yards in front of you.

Public Transit: The Muni Metro T-Line stops at Marin, which is located a
couple blocks before Cargo Wayon Third Street. Please visit www.511.org
for a transit planner from your location. Follow the directions above
from Third Street turning onto Cargo Way.

Hope to see you then!
