Bay Area Lands, People, and Economy Bay Area Lands, People, and Economy We have an urgent chance to intentionally develop a more green and just economy. Investments in green infrastructure, public lands, natural resource management, and agricultural systems can retain tens of thousands of jobs in the San Francisco Bay Area while addressing climate change impacts. Studies have shown these investments would realize long-term cost savings and community resilience statewide. Long-term investment which takes climate action into account will ensure lasting economic rehabilitation, future cost savings for the state, and a healthier, more equitable society.

  • Friends of Five Creeks Letters Re Restoration of Codornices Creek
    The letters below deal with F5C’s early involvement in Codornices Creek. They shed some light on challenges that faced efforts to restore our area’s only trout stream, and the role citizens played. These are by no means the whole story. Most credit for the big projects on Codornices west of San Pablo goes to the partnership of creek-restoration pioneers Carole Schemmerling, who headed the now defunct Urban Creeks Council, and consulting hydrologist Dr. Ann Riley, whose now defunct private consulting firm Watershed Restoration Institute. The two shared offices; UCC was effectively the nonprofit arm of WRI, able to receive grants and similar government support. Credit also goes to longtime environmental visionary Richard Register, who with UCC played a large role in bringing Codornices out of its pipe between 8th and 9th Streets in 1994-5. This was one of Berkeley’s pioneer “daylighting” projects. Friends of Five Creeks 1000 San Pablo Ave. Albany, CA 94706 412 7257 October 4, 1998 Mr. Ron Gervason San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board 1515 Clay St., 14th Floor Oakland, CA 94612 [email protected] Re: Triannual Review of Water Quality Control Plan of San Francisco Bay Basin Friends of Five Creeks is a grassroots organization that seeks to protect and restore creeks in Albany, California. While Albany’s natural creeks are mostly in culverts, one, Codornices, is substantially free flowing and has a small trout population. Efforts are ongoing to restore another, Cerrito Creek. We believe that the few creeks in our urbanized area that can or do support relatively natural aquatic life, especially cold-water or anadromous fish, should receive the highest possible degree of protection, including that of the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

  • Pt. Isabel-Stege Area
    Tales of the Bay Shore -- Pt. Isabel-Stege area Geology: The “bones” of the shoreline from Albany to Richmond are a sliver of ancient, alien sea floor, caught on the edge of North America as it overrode the Pacific. Fleming Point (site of today’s racetrack), Albany Hill, Pt. Isabel, Brooks Island, scattered hillocks inland, the hills at Pt Richmond, and the hills across the San Pablo Strait (spanned by the Richmond Bridge) all are part of this Novato Terrane. Erosion and uplift eventually left their hard rock as hilltops in a valley. Still later – only about 5000 years ago -- rising seas from the melting glaciers of our last Ice Age flooded the valley, forming today’s San Francisco Bay. The “alien” hilltops became islands, peninsulas linked to shore by marsh, or isolated dome-like “turtlebacks.” Left: Portion of 1911 map of SF Bay showing many Native American sites near Pt. Isabel and Stege. Right: 1853 U.S. Coastal Survey map showing N. end of Albany Hill, Cerrito Creek, Pt. Isabel, and marshes/ to North. Native Americans: Native Americans would have watched the slow rise of today’s Bay. When Europeans reached North America, the East Bay was the home of Huchiun Ohlone peoples. Living in groups generally of fewer than 100 people, they moved seasonally amid rich and varied resources, gathering, hunting, fishing, and encouraging useful plants with pruning and burning. They made reed boats, baskets, nets, traps, mortars, and a wide variety of implements and decorations. Along the shellfish-rich shoreline they gradually built up substantial hills of debris – shell mounds -- that kept them above floods and served as multipurpose homesites, burial sites, refuse dumps, and more.

Fun facts about the celebrated one of the East Bay Regional Park District’s East Bay Regional recent restoration projects and illustrated its ongoing Park District commitment to climate change adaptation. The rise in sea level is just one of the ramifications of climate change, and the Dotson Family Marsh was designed to offset such effects through 2080. The Regional Parks Foundation shares that commitment to protecting our natural resources. One of the Foundation’s core programs, aided by generous Donors, is Environmental Restoration and Habitat Enhancement—helping to keep parklands and wildlife healthy. The creation of the Shorebird Sanctuary at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline and cleanup efforts at Strawberry Cove and on park trails are a few of the Foundation-supported projects you’ll read about in this issue. Hours spent in the parks are not only about work, of course. There are many areas to explore and breathtaking vistas to revel in for the first (or the 50th) time. Witnessing a new wonder, or sharing 9 a secret spot with a friend, is part of what makes living in this beautiful The minimum age of volunteers and diverse region special.

  • Albany Hill and Cerrito Creek – History and Future by Susan Schwartz, Friends of Five Creeks
    Albany Hill and Cerrito Creek – History and Future by Susan Schwartz, Friends of Five Creeks This is a work in progress. Comments and corrections are welcome at [email protected]. Albany Hill, shaggy with trees, rises gently from the south to over 300 feet elevation, dropping steeply on its other three sides. It seems to stand alone on the waterfront, but looks are a bit misleading. The hill is part of an “alien terrane” – a band of Jurassic shale and sandstone – rock that formed in the age of dinosaurs. This band of rock was scraped from the sea floor, jumbled, and caught on the edge of North America as ocean floor was forced beneath the continent. Eons later, this same titanic clash of plates heaved the rock upwards as part of a range of hills trending northwest. The band, which geologists now call the Novato Terrane, included Fleming Point, Point Isabel, a smaller summit northwest of Albany Hill (all now dynamited), Brooks Island, the Potrero San Pablo of West Richmond, and the hills of the China Camp area across San Pablo Strait. Quite recently, perhaps 3 million to 1 million years ago, the continued clash of ocean and continent warped this area downward, forming a valley, while a younger range of hills, today’s Berkeley Hills, tilted upward farther east. Humans, arriving much more recently, but before the end of the last Ice Age, found Albany Hill and the other hills of the Novato Terrane edging a valley. The ocean shore was well to the west, near the Farallon Islands.

  • Yodeler, a Publication of the Sierra Club, July 2000
    This article appeared in The Yodeler, a publication of the Sierra Club, July 2000. Reprinted with permission. Creek restoration--the water's half-full and rising by Susan Schwartz The dams are about to come down on Alameda Creek and Dimond Creek. Endangered coho salmon now have a way to swim past a dam on Lagunitas Creek in Marin. Martinez is converting downtown parking lots into green floodway for Alhambra Creek. In San Francisco, on Mission Creek, 17 acres of wetlands and related habitat will be preserved and restored in the midst of the posh Mission Bay redevelopment. Around the Bay, dozens of creek-restoration groups and scores of school classes are working on hundreds of creek-restoration projects, from removing litter to removing culverts. Conservation corps employing disadvantaged youth provide more strong hands. Collectively, they are restoring significant amounts of habitat. They are also providing priceless urban oases, and education in the value of nature. Money is (relatively) flush; grants are available from a few hundred to a few hundred thousand dollars, and passage this year of Propositions 12 and 13 promises $35 million for stream restoration in coming years. Central Coast steelhead, listed as threatened in 1997 yet still struggling up Bay tributaries from San Jose's Guadalupe River to Marin's Corte Madera Creek, provide potent symbolism and leverage for change. Individual projects are usually quite local and may take years or decades. But creek restoration, probably the most hands-on of environmental efforts, is bit by bit significantly improving both the human and natural environments of the Bay Area.
