Student Brigade is a volunteer student effort designed to engage
our youth in the restoration of the ecosystems of Blackie's Pasture
and Richardson Bay. A joint effort of the Tiburon Peninsula Foundation
and Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary, Blackie's Student
Brigade involves Peninsula students in ecological preservation
and environmental education projects, giving them the tools they
need to become the future stewards of our environment.
Projects undertaken by Blackie’s Student Brigade include:
- Creek restoration in Blackie's Pasture and the Peninsula's
watershed, including the fresh water marsh behind the library.
- Richardson Bay shoreline restorations from the Audubon Center
to McKegney Green and South of the Knoll Park.
- Oyster Restoration in Richardson
Bay. Phase One is a thriving success thanks to the teamwork
of Audubon, Romberg, NOAA, and the Belvedere and Tiburon Foundations.
- Working with local schools to create ongoing programs in
the community.
