About Richardson Bay 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Center and Sanctuary
Richardson Bay 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Center & Sanctuary staff and volunteers work to preserve and improve sustainable access to habitat in our sanctuary and throughout San Francisco Bay for birds and people. We use our site as an outdoor classroom to inspire stewardship and engage future conservation leaders of all backgrounds and identities in our community.
A Shoreline Sanctuary
Since 1957, Richardson Bay 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Center and Sanctuary has stewarded this vital section of shoreline in Marin County, California.
The sanctuary is located on Richardson Bay, part of the larger San Francisco Bay Area, and covers 10.5 acres of uplands and 900 acres of subtidal bay. We are part of a nation-wide network of 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú nature centers, chapters, and programs focused on bird conservation and public engagement. The public is welcome to explore our site Monday through Friday between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, and occasional Saturdays (9:00 am–5:00 pm).
Please understand our site is a wildlife sanctuary. Pets are not allowed.
