Here in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, we have access to thousands of acres of undeveloped land, which is under the stewardship of the East Bay Regional Park District. The Park District provides oversight for multiple parks throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties. The parks preserve open land and watersheds in a growing urban area, for our enjoyment now, and for future generations.
I have enjoyed hikes and events with family and friends in Briones, Temescal, Tilden, Leona Canyon, Redwood, Huckleberry, Roberts, Sibley, and Crown Beach, to name a few. I’ve also helped remove invasive plant species in several parks. To learn more about the East Bay Regional Park District: http://www.ebparks.org; about individual parks: http://www.ebparks.org/parks; and for plant checklists: https://www.ebparks.org/natural-resources/biodiversity/plants-checklist (select by district, or specific park).
Most of the plant communities associated with regional microclimates are represented in their holdings, including oak woodland, chaparral, coastal scrub, grassland, redwood forest, mixed evergreen forest, coastal dune, coastal strand, riparian, and so forth. This commitment to preserving some pristine land is a treasure for anyone interested in native plants, hiking, or getting back to nature.
