History of Drawbridge – Alviso

An overhead photo of Drawbridge. Old buildings are visible on the marsh.

Join Ceal Craig, Ph.D., a 20+ year volunteer for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, for a unique opportunity to dive into the history of Drawbridge, a historic town that once housed a thriving community on an island along the South San Francisco Bay. How did this community survive in the marshlands? Why is it now a ghost town?

The presentation will take place in person in the auditorium of the Environmental Education Center of the Don Edwards SF Bay NWR. Afterward, we invite you to take a stroll on the New Chicago Marsh boardwalk to enjoy the sunset!

This program is brought to you by the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society (SFBWS), US Fish & Wildlife Service, and the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP).
