Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Think Treasure Island is the Bay Area’s best kept secret? Its neighbor has plenty of secrets of its own.

Free, but an RSVP is suggested.

The fascinating natural and cultural legacy of Yerba Buena Island includes sacred burial grounds, court battles over ownership, goats that ate the island’s namesake, a US Army “torpedo station,” an 1875 lighthouse, and significant surviving indigenous flora and fauna.

Speaker: Ruth Gravanis, long-time citizen advocate in the TI/YBI redevelopment process
