Join the Garber Park Stewards, Conservancy members, and North Hills Community Association as we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service in Garber Park. We will pull invasive plants and remove eucalyptus debris from the park. This is a habitat restoration event filled with plant ID opportunities and a goal to help make the park more fire safe. Come out and rake the park’s main trails, bag non-native and invasive plants like eucalyptus debris (leaves, larger branches, and bark pieces), and fill a large dumpster provided by the City of Oakland to help lower fire fuels (photo below).

Wear hiking shoes or sturdy shoes, long sleeves and pants, and bring a water bottle. Gloves, tools, and snacks will be provided, but you're welcome to bring your own lunch and enjoy it in the park. For the more adventurous, some activities will require us to go off trail on steeper slopes.
