On Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, Friends of Five Creeks and Albany Parks Department partner to plant natives and remove invasives along Codornices Creek, our area’s only trout stream. All ages welcome — volunteers get lunch and a t-shirt. Meet at the “outdoor classroom” at 8th Street and the creek, one block north of Harrison, on the Berkeley-Albany border and the south edge of University Village.

Tools, gloves, snacks, and good company provided. Bring a re-usable water bottle and wear long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toed shoes with good traction. Heavy rain postpones to Sat., Jan. 25. Questions? Email f5creeks@gmail.com. Groups of more than 5 please RSVP. Otherwise, just show up! Parking is challenging. Please allow time to find a place and walk a block or two, or bicycle, walk, or take AC Transit 52, 12, 18, 72, or 80.
