Event Details

Between 1970 and 1990, a remarkable collaboration between citizens and government accomplished one of the most complex environmental restoration projects in history. This collaboration regained the public’s access to the Hayward Shoreline and preserved a unique ecology.

Hayward Library is delighted to host "A Shoreline for All: How Citizens and Government Worked Together to Restore the Hayward Shoreline in the 1970s and 1980s," a community conversation about the creation of this distinctive local resource.

The creation of Hayward Shoreline generated crucial new knowledge. Educators at Cal State East Bay and Hayward’s K-12 public schools created sophisticated inquiry-based science curricula, engaging students in research. This collaborative work is historically significant and unique to Hayward. This panel will include people who made history by supporting the creation of the Hayward Shoreline.

"A Shoreline for All" is the final segment of the Hayward is Home local history series created by CSUEB History Chair Bridget Ford and her students with support from Cal Humanities. Previous events focused on the Shibata Family Japanese Garden (Sept. 8) and pioneering local media Country Press and Barrio Expressions (Oct. 6). 

Refreshments will be served.
