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.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Marsh Creek Watershed Marsh Creek flows approximately 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo to Suisun Bay in the northern San Francisco Estuary. Its watershed consists of about 100 square miles. The headwaters of Marsh Creek consist of numerous small, intermittent and perennial tributaries within the Black Hills. The creek drains to the northwest before abruptly turning east near Marsh Creek Springs. From Marsh Creek Springs, Marsh Creek flows in an easterly direction entering Marsh Creek Reservoir, constructed in the 1960s. The creek is largely channelized in the lower watershed, and includes a drop structure near the city of Brentwood that appears to be a complete passage barrier. Marsh Creek enters the Big Break area of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta northeast of the city of Oakley. Marsh Creek No salmonids were observed by DFG during an April 1942 visual survey of Marsh Creek at two locations: 0.25 miles upstream from the mouth in a tidal reach, and in close proximity to a bridge four miles east of Byron (Curtis 1942).

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.

  • Land Use and Water Quality at Wildcat Creek, CA Tim Hassler Abstract
    Land Use and Water Quality at Wildcat Creek, CA Tim Hassler Abstract Urban creeks and their associated watersheds are the focal point for a variety of different land uses including, urban development, industry, agriculture, livestock grazing, and recreational activities. These land uses can threaten the water quality of urban creeks. Most land-use studies have focused on multiple watersheds over a regional scale. More localized information is needed on single streams to provide important water quality information so they can be better managed. This study looked at the relationship between various land uses and water quality along Wildcat Creek, Berkeley, CA to determine if urban development, recreational activities, and livestock grazing may negatively affect the health of the creek. The study area was divided into seven discrete usage zones based on varying land uses. Water samples were collected three times over a four-month period to look for temporal variation in pH, conductivity, turbidity, and nitrates. Samples were also collected and analyzed for E-Coli bacteria once during the study. Regulatory guidelines and/or standards were used to assess the water quality of the creek. pH levels were found to be consistent throughout each usage zone. Conductivity levels increased downstream with the exception of the Lake Anza usage zone (a swimming reservoir), where they dropped sharply, possibly due to a settling effect. Turbidity levels fluctuated between usage zones showing no set pattern. Nitrate loading generally increased downstream throughout the study area. Conductivity levels were significantly correlated over time among the different usage zones, while the other sample parameters did not show significant temporal correlation.
