The wildlife refuge provides critical habitat for many species of plants and birds.We'll hike the LaRiviere, Newark Slough, and Tidelands trails to understand the critical importance of wetlands in providing climate resilience.Our route includes some fascinating flora, fauna, and geology, including a strange parasitic marsh plant called "devil's sewing thread," graceful shorebirds, and outcrops of California's official state rock, serpentinite. The park's hilltop overlook area will provide us with a panoramic view of San Francisco Bay and the Newark shoreline.In 2025, Don Edwards Refuge Park Ranger Miguel Marquez received the Hidden Heroes Award for his educational work in connecting multiple generations to nature. Learn more about his story and incredible work.Newark is also a Greenbelt Alliance Resilience Hotspot. Newark’s unique shoreline is a vital natural resource to protect the region from sea level rise and flooding, which pose serious threats to residents and industries.

Allie Caulfield via FlickrAbout the Outing LeaderArchana Paladugu is on a quest to cure her plant blindness by learning about the native plants and animals that share their land with us. She is inspired by her great-grandmother, who raised her in a little village in India and lived indigenously alongside a forest in a farming community. "The trees are your cousins. Care for them," she often heard her great-gran say. "On the last day of the world, I would plant a tree," are the words from her favorite poem by the US Poet Laureate, M.S Merwin. Archana volunteers as a climate worker for CCL and SL2050. For a living, she is a computer scientist who works in Green Energy Tech. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/32541a10-662d-11f1-ba52-bfd8536ace95-rimg-w555-h740-dc797066-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/fremont/roving-the-refuge/100001988569225083 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, dog, art, literary-art, trekking - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 108.55, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Fremont - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge - **lat**: 37.5321533 - **long**: -122.0715483 - **full address**: Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, 2 Marshlands Road, Fremont, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Roving the Refuge - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/b3f6c1fe1b4bb2eda5b8180999dcbf1aad9555c2479cc3a716feb2db6a9ef3c6-rimg-w1200-h900-dcaeb9c2-gmir.jpg?v=1779263172 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Roving the Refuge being held? - **A:** Roving the Refuge takes place on Sun, 14 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sun, 14 Jun, 2026 at 12:30 pm at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, 2 Marshlands Road, Fremont, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Roving the Refuge? - **A:** Roving the Refuge is organized by Greenbelt Alliance. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
