On March 14th, on a very windy, crystal clear day, ten hearty souls from the Claremont Club and Spa joined our Conservancy community to clean up parts of Garber Park and the public paths leading to its Evergreen entrance.
The Garber Park Stewards by Wyllie Clayson
We’re having a very good year so far in Garber Park—even with a few canceled rainy Saturdays. In addition to our regular volunteer days, we’ve held additional stewardship events, including celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr., Day of Service in January and other events in partnership with the CAL Habitat Club from UC Berkeley.
President’s Message by Jon Kaufman
The Conservancy has been leading an effort to build a regional wildfire prevention coordinating group among elected officials from local jurisdictions in the East Bay Hills. Read more about these efforts and about our stewardship program which includes volunteers from UC, scout troops, and high school students from as far away as Fremont.

Preventing Wildfire: Support the Oakland Vegetation Management Plan, by David Kessler
The City of Oakland has been working for several years on a comprehensive Vegetation Management Plan. The revised version, a detailed study of almost 600 pages, will be formally presented at the Planning Commission on November 1st (Oakland City Hall, 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, at 3PM ). If approved, it moves to the City Council. A working group would then be set up to address such crucial questions as how to secure funding to implement its recommendations.
