Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon is a fresh water restoration and educational wetland.  It uses stormwater and a natural sag pond (created by the Hayward Fault) to design restoration with native plants.  These plants have over the last few years attracted native animals including the yellow legged frog, western pond turtle, osprey, kestrel, red winged blackbird, and many more.  We also “share” the experience with Alameda County schools and community members.
