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.

Harold French Bench Dedication – September 26, 2019
HAROLD FRENCH BENCH DEDICATION – SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 Background Information from Noël Siver When I first learned that this bench dedicated to Harold French was going to be installed on the Overlook Trail in Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, I wondered how much of a connection there was between Harold French and this preserve and between Harold French and Robert Sibley. With a little bit of research on the Internet (my favorite indoor activity), I learned that Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve was originally known as Round Top. Having hiked to its summit many times, Harold French knew this extinct volcano well. He wrote about it in one of his earliest articles, an article that was published in the San Francisco Chronicle on August 14, 1904. It was entitled “Who Built the Prehistoric Walls Topping Berkeley Hills? Do the Miles of Mysterious Stone Barriers, Which Serve No Modern Purpose, Bespeak a Lost Civilization of Toltecs or Atlanteans?” In his article Harold writes that This peak is of sufficient interest to the Sierra Club to cause a number of its members to erect a cairn of boulders on its summit, the apex of which is ornamented with the skull of a deceased bovine. This dome is of sufficient wildness to attract many for the mere purpose of beholding its view, but it is here that the most interesting walls are found. On its southern shoulder, overlooking the head of beautiful Redwood canyon, which is reached by the Moraga road from Piedmont, a wall extends for over 200 yards to the east and then plunges down a steep canyon to the south. -
