Community Based Restoration – 35%

The REC will be responsible for setting the event schedule, running the events (including volunteer recruitment/coordination), and event follow up. To conduct the restoration, the REC will coordinate with the San Francisco Bay Conservation Program Manager (CPM) to identify restoration priorities, actions, and methodologies.
