<div>Hi there, I’m Myrna Hayes, Founding President of the Mare Island Heritage Trust and the Co-founder and Director of the San Francisco Bay Flyway Festival. Will you make a donation of any amount to help us fund this coming year’s 30th Anniversary Go Wildly Live Outdoors San Francisco Bay Flyway Festival? Plan to attend February 13-15, 2026. We will also celebrate our Co-Founder's 70th birthday party!
</div>
<div>More and more, since the life changing pandemic of 5 years ago and our dismissal as founding managers of the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve, we have shifted the way we raise and receive funds for our non-profit organization's operations and educational programming. Yes, we are an IRS designated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a California Secretary of State registered non-profit corporation. Now, more than ever, we benefit from and really depend on your direct donations for our programming and operations. And, really, if you think about it, that makes sense. Rather than writing grant applications and as we can see, potentially getting tangled up in the uncertainly of the outcome of such sources of money even if it is awarded, why not simply come directly to you, our wildlands community participant? YOU are who we are founded to serve. Our mission as the Mare Island Heritage Trust, is to make public access available to you, on and near Mare Island wherever it is planned or already exists. We believe our job is to more than passively promote nearby wilderness(wild near us), but to engage with you in a most intimate and personal way so that you have the tools and the encouragement to embrace yourself as both human and wild. We believe that when you experience connection in a deepening way with wildness, that you will naturally align your life with your most human being. We are, after all, human beings, not human doings. When you go deep in nature, it's assured that you are your better and best, self.

<div>Our San Francisco Bay Flyway Festival was founded by the San Francisco Bay Association(Save the Bay) and co-hosted by the US Navy beginning in January 1996 as the Navy was leaving Mare Island. It believed that while it had a lot of environmental cleanup to conduct over the next decades, the Navy felt it had been good stewards of Mare Island's natural and historic resources and wanted to gauge the public interest in those efforts. When more than 1,000 people came out for that first Flyway Festival held in a historic building on Mare Island for just 4 hours, we had our answer. We have never turned back and we have never wavered in our commitment to showcase in a real-time way, this unique and sacred land. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope you will stay with us on this exuberant journey in which we seek to guide you through a blend of wild times on the Pacific Flyway with the rich cultural, archeological, historic and scenic places that are packaged in one place on Mare Island and its vicinity. This land is the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard for a time of 142 years, followed by nearly 30 years of a new and evolving purpose, and reaching further back to times before our modern repurposing of a wild and sacred Island. We believe that you don't love who you don't know. And, we hope that you will get to know and fall wildly in love with this special place we think of collectively, as the North Shore of San Francisco Bay.
