Anheuser-Busch Fairfield Brewery Employees Pitch in to Save San Francisco
Bay
Employees from the Anheuser-Busch Fairfield brewery recently joined one of
the company's environmental partners, Restore America's Estuaries, and Save
the Bay, a community-based organization dedicated to keeping San Francisco
Bay safe and clean, in a habitat restoration project at the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Regional Shoreline in Oakland, Calif.
More than 40 employees brought their families and friends to help restore
the Bay and to improve the natural habitat for invertebrates, birds and
other wildlife.
One focus of the day's activities was removal of an invasive non-native
plant that is supplanting larger native species in local marsh areas. This
project is important because these wetlands provide a home for many species,
including the endangered California Clapper Rail bird and bat rays, marine
mammals, and salmon. Fairfield volunteers filled 110 large yard waste bags
with the invasive species.
This project is one of numerous environmental activities conducted by
employees at the Fairfield brewery in the communities surrounding the
brewery. In September, employees volunteered for the California Coast &
Creek Cleanup in Suisun, Calif. The Fairfield brewery is already making
plans to participate in another cleanup with Save the Bay in the future.
