March Happenings 2025
The release of Cal Fire’s 2025 wildfire risk maps this past week has created confusion rather than clarity. Here are a few steps we can take in the meantime. Our volunteers continue their work to decrease the density of invasive, hazardous plants to help lower ladder fuels in the park. Join one of our upcoming volunteer days in the Upper Canyon and in Garber Park.
February Happenings 2025
Many plants in the upper canyon are beginning to transition into their next phase and we are seeing many catkins in bloom! To avoid a catastrophe like LA experienced (and our neighborhood experienced in the 1991 fire), we need to stay vigilant about our risks and know what we can do to lessen them. Here are some resources to help you be prepared. Measure MM $99/parcel tax will be collected and funds made available to the City of Oakland starting with the 2025-2026 property tax period. Read the Vegetation Management Plan.
