In compliance with the official Bay Area Shelter in Order, RBACS will be closed to the public until further notice. We ask all members of our community to stay home as much as possible to stay safe prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary is ground zero for waterbirds and Pacific herring in San Francisco Bay. Our 900-acre open water sanctuary is closed from October 1st to March 31st each year and is visited by researchers focused on protecting and restoring the eelgrass ecosystem.
Our 10-acre site adjacent to the bay hosts summer camp, our youth conservation leadership program, and numerous volunteer opportunities.
There are so many ways to help create and be a part of a bird-friendly community!
Help us engage future conservation leaders! When you sponsor a youth leader, you help the birds.
Begin your volunteer journey today by submitting a volunteer application, so we can know your time and talents and work with you to find the perfect fit.
