Nature Stores
The San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society operates Nature Stores at the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay Refuge Visitor Center in Fremont and the Environmental Education Center in Alviso.
The Fremont store, located at 2 Marshlands Road, is open Saturdays & Sundays, 10am to 2pm, as long as we have enough volunteers to staff the store. The Alviso store is currently closed.
Become a member of San Francisco Wildlife Society today and receive 15% off all purchases at our Nature Stores, as well as a subscription to our quarterly Tide Rising newsletter. Below you will see just a small sampling of what you’ll find when you visit our Nature Stores.
NEW for 2025, we have created an online Bonfire store where we carry items that aren’t sold anywhere else, including mugs representing each Refuge in the Complex and exclusive SFBayWS gear! The Society receives a small portion of each sale. Unfortunately the 15% member discount does not apply to this online store, but it’s still a great way to show your support for our Refuges and get items shipped directly to you!
