    Pinole Creek Watershed Sediment Source Assessment January 2005 Prepared by the San Francisco Estuary Institute for USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Contra Costa Resource Conservation District San Francisco Estuary Institute The Regional Watershed Program was founded in 1998 to assist local and regional environmental management and the public to understand, characterize and manage environmental resources in the watersheds of the Bay Area. Our intent is to help develop a regional picture of watershed condition and downstream effects through a solid foundation of literature review and peer- review, and the application of a range of science methodologies, empirical data collection and interpretation in watersheds around the Bay Area. Over this time period, the Regional Watershed Program has worked with Bay Area local government bodies, universities, government research organizations, Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) and local community and environmental groups in the Counties of Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco. We have also fulfilled technical advisory roles for groups doing similar work outside the Bay Area. This report should be referenced as: Pearce, S., McKee, L., and Shonkoff, S., 2005.

  • The F Street Trailhead Is a Hidden Gateway & How the Franklin Hills
    View of the Franklin Hills and the canyon above F Street from above the track at Alhambra High School (Photo by Seth Adams, 5-2020) The F Street Trailhead is a Hidden Gateway & How the Franklin Hills Were Saved F Street Trailhead, Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline By Seth Adams, Co-Chairman, Thousand Friends of Martinez Hike Start: top of F Street Distance: 0.8 miles roundtrip, or longer Time: 45 minutes roundtrip, or longer Moderate hike What are the Franklin Hills? How were they saved? Why go there? They are the scenic backdrop for Martinez and its western border from Highway 4 to the Carquinez Strait. They’re a constant—everyone in Martinez loves them, whether you grew up or moved here—and they’ve resisted change. At the simplest we love them because they’re our backyard, they mean Martinez, and most of us see them every day. In May 2020 Martinez residents are sheltering in place from the coronavirus pandemic, luckily with nearby access to wonderful open spaces. Martinez is surrounded by four regional parks. The recently renamed Radke-Martinez Regional Shoreline to the north and Briones Regional Park to the south are the most well-known. Waterbird Regional Preserve is east across Highway 680. Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline includes the Franklin Hills west of downtown. Most people who go there use the Nejedly staging area along Carquinez Scenic Drive, or the entrances further west where the George Miller Trail begins. Less well known is the F Street Trailhead at the south edge of Alhambra High School. This article is in two major parts.

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. So smell the flowers at the Dry Creek at the Little Farm Garden, say hi to one of EBRPD’s mounted patrol horses—or find your own unique discovery in the parks.

Take, for example, KNOW? Bigges, the 3-year-old Australian shepherd featured on Fun facts about the our cover. He is a terrific ambassador for our parks, not East Bay Regional just because he’s well-behaved and well-loved on the trails. The Hayward pooch is also a great role model for environmental Park District responsibility. When Bigges visits our parks, he makes sure he leaves them cleaner than when he came. In fact, he’s picked up hundreds of plastic bottles and other debris over the years, scouring the hillsides for trash left by other hikers. His owner, Diane Petersen, collects the trash from Bigges and recycles it. Throughout the District, we follow a similar environmental ethic: to be conscientious stewards of the land and set a good example for others. We’re proud to be part of the national Leave No Trace movement, which encourages park visitors to have a minimal impact on the environment when spending time outdoors. For decades, we’ve also worked to restore habitat, remove invasive species, acquire and protect important open spaces, and educate the public about the importance of environmental stewardship. Other important facts worth noting: Bigges and Petersen are mem- 500 bers of the Regional Parks Foundation—just like you.
