Ariana Rickard, Coastal Chapter Network Manager, spoke at a press event about why Audubon California supports Measure AA, the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area parcel tax to restore wetlands. 

If approved by voters in June, “Yes on Measure AA for a Clean and Healthy Bay” would raise $500 million over 20 years to fund critical conservation and flood protection projects, including the restoration of 15,000 acres of wetlands and creation of 25 miles of new Bay trails. Co-Chaired by Senator Dianne Feinstein, the campaign has received endorsement from local elected officials, and business, environmental, labor, philanthropic and civic leaders.
