The vital role our Park District parks play in keeping the East Bay happy, healthy and active is clearer than ever. Park visitors of all ages can take part in the annual Trails Challenge—finding new paths to hike and parks to explore. A few years ago, the Foundation heard from two senior women who had been walking together at Lake Chabot for decades. After taking the challenge, one of the women shared: “I get to see new places, clear my head and get healthy. I feel great about it.” The Trails Challenge had a similar impact on our cover subjects: Jonathan, Donica, Penny and Rocky Katayanagi. Jonathan and his daughter, Penny, took on the 2017 Trails Challenge when Penny was 6, completing all five trails in one day. Now, the challenge is a family tradition, with all $192,839 four of them hitting the trails together—and fostering a lifelong love Total amount of bequests given to of hiking. the Foundation in 2017 Inspiring people to be active and enjoy our beautiful regional parks is one of the best parts of the Trails Challenge, and it’s why the program continues to grow.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Taylor Samuelson [email protected] 510-286-4182 April 19, 2019 Native Oyster Reef Construction Underway in Richmond San Francisco Bay Living Shorelines Project 350 Reef Structures will become habitat for Native Oysters and Pacific Herring Richmond, CA - From April 9-30, 350 oyster reef elements are being placed in nearshore areas to create a living shoreline near Giant Marsh at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline managed by East Bay Regional Park District in the City of Richmond. Eelgrass beds will be planted next to the reefs in the following weeks to create a habitat ideal for the recruitment of native Olympia oysters and other aquatic species. Living shorelines use nature-based infrastructure to create shoreline buffers that reduce the impacts from sea level rise and erosion, while creating habitat for fish and wildlife. Though a relatively new climate adaptation technique, living shorelines are proving to be an effective approach to protecting coastal resources and shoreline communities. The Giant Marsh project is one of a small number of living shoreline trial projects taking place in the San Francisco Bay, but is the only one that connects the submerged underwater habitats with adjacent wetlands and upland ecotone plant communities. This innovative demonstration project is testing a combined living shorelines approach with habitat elements at different tidal elevations at the same site, with a goal of encouraging other cities and partners to undertake this kind of climate adaptation habitat restoration project at additional sites in the bay. The multi-habitat project at Giant Marsh builds on lessons learned from the Coastal Conservancy’s living shoreline project constructed directly across the bay in San Rafael in 2012, which included the construction of oyster reefs and eelgrass beds.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Mission The mission of the Vector Control Services District is to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases, injury, and discomfort to the residents of the District by controlling insects, rodents, and other vectors and eliminating causal environmental conditions through education and integrated pest management practices. District Services Request for Service Investigations • Conduct investigations in response to requests for service from the public for rodent, wildlife, and insect vectors of disease, assess environmental conditions for vector harborage and access, and recommend solutions to reduce vector activity and associated public health risks. • Investigate reported public health and vermin problems related to rodents, cockroaches, flies, fleas, bed bugs, lice, stinging insects (yellow jackets and bees), ticks, mites, and spiders, and render the appropriate control services based on best management practices and integrated pest management strategies. • Provide insect, tick and spider identifications and recommend the least–toxic control strategies. • Conduct surveys of rodents, insects and arthropods of public health importance, and maintain a reference collection. • Survey and control cockroaches in public sewers, utility boxes, and storm drains. • Conduct yellow jacket and bee control in public areas. Wildlife Management and Rabies Control • Conduct investigations of nuisance wildlife problems relating to bats, skunks, opossums, raccoons, turkeys, feral pigs, foxes, coyotes, dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds (pigeons). • Trap nuisance animals when preventative alternatives or exclusion practices are not possible or unlikely to be effective. • Work in coordination with local animal control agencies and the Alameda County Public Health Department to monitor and test wildlife (bats, skunks, opossums, cats, etc.) for rabies and submit annual statistics reports to the California Department of Public Health.
