Remove invasives, enjoy nature near the mouth of Berkeley's Strawberry Creek

Save to Favorites

Sun., May 21, 10 AM - noon, help all-volunteer Friends of Five Creeks remove invasive perennial pepperweed (Lepidium latifolium), a threat to Bay biodiversity. You'll learn about the fascinating history of the Berkeley waterfront, challenges of sea-level rise, and more.

Tools, gloves, snacks, and good company provided. This is light work. Bring a re-usable water bottle and dress for changing weather -- the Bay shore can be foggy, cold, windy, hot, and sunny! Wear closed-toed shoes with good traction and clothes that can get dirty. All ages welcome.

If you have questions or want to bring a of more than five, please email f5creeks@gmail.com.

Meet at 10 AM at the northwest corner of the Sea Breeze Deli parking lot, 598 University Avenue, just west of the freeway and south of University Avenue (easy by AC Transit 51B or bike or walk via the Bay Trail or bridge over the freeway). If you come late, walk west along the shoreline until you find us.

There is a minus tide before the event. If you are an early bird and want to join a very few people observing and recording low-tide life, please email f5creeks@gmail.com. We also will have a short optional nature walk toward the end of the event. Another option -- bring your own lunch, or buy one at Sea Breeze Delicatessen, to enjoy there or in the new Brickyard portion of Eastshore State Park next door -- it has a lovely short, easy loop walk.
