Restoring San Francisco Bay One Plant at a Time: Volunteering with Save The Bay

Earlier this month, Marvell employees came together for a hands-on volunteer day at Palo Alto Baylands, partnering with Save The Bay—a local environmental nonprofit dedicated to restoring and protecting the Bay’s vital habitats. Guided by two project leaders from Save The Bay, the Marvell team planted 837 native plants representing 10 different species across two restoration sites. This effort not only strengthened the Bay’s resilience to climate change and sea-level rise, but also fostered teamwork and community spirit among colleagues.

This event built on the momentum from May, when another group of Marvell volunteers worked at the same site where they transported 750 native plants and removed 120 pounds of invasive species. Returning to see the growth and progress firsthand was especially meaningful, highlighting the tangible difference Marvell teams are making over time. The experience deepened volunteers’ understanding of local ecology and the challenges facing Bay Area wetlands, while reinforcing the power of collective action.

Save The Bay became an official nonprofit partner with Marvell earlier this year, opening new opportunities for employees to engage in environmental stewardship. These volunteer days not only support critical restoration work, but also provide a chance to connect with colleagues, build new relationships, and contribute to a climate-resilient future for all Bay Area residents.

Marvell is committed to community engagement through a variety of philanthropy programs, empowering employees to make a positive impact in local communities. Explore how Marvell is cultivating a thriving organization built on commitments to employees, communities, and the environment.
