Alameda County
The Coyote Hills site in northern Fremont was historically tidal marsh, grassland, and wetland. Conservation of the land would allow for the restoration of various habitats, including tidal marsh, salt ponds, natural marsh uplands, seasonal wetlands, and willow grove habitat. These habitats all provide important foraging and nesting habitat for shorebirds, waterfowl, and migratory birds. Less than half of the Coyote Hills site is currently protected by a conservation easement, so additional land conservation efforts would permanently protect lands in this area.
