This month is filled with wonderful surprises. Take a look at the miner’s lettuce we saw growing in Garber Park. Let’s go woodpeckering with Jeff Martin! Join us for a winter woodpecker walk as we learn how to look for them, how to identify them, and observe their unique foraging strategies. Then, on February 19, join the Claremont Resort & Club, in collaboration with the Garber Park Stewards, in a wonderful volunteer event on the Evergreen Lane Path. We will help clean the main steps and trails 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.
