El Cerrito Hillside Natural Area Work Party, Sat, May 16, 10 am - Noon

[EBCNPS News List]

Join the Friends of the Hillside in a work party at the El Cerrito Hillside Natural Area.

Event Details:

We’ll tackle broom beneath beautiful oaks in the Hidden Valley. The soft soil makes removal relatively easy, though some areas contain low-growing poison oak.

There will also be a poison oak–free option available: removing invasive plants along the trail.

For this work party, please arrive on time so we can head out together, or coordinate with us if you plan to join later. You can also join our WhatsApp group to receive updates.

No prior experience is needed — tools and guidance are provided. Wear long sleeves and long pants, along with sturdy shoes. We will provide tools. If possible, please bring your own gloves.

All are welcome. Birders, plant enthusiasts, kids and curious neighbors are invited to join. You can come to work, to learn, or simply to enjoy being outside in community.

By volunteering, you help strengthen both the land and the human connections that sustain it.

Please also print and sign the Release for City Volunteer Program

Location:

South entrance of Regency Court (GPS: 1531 Regency Court, El Cerrito)
