CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section provides an overview of the potential presence of cultural and paleontological resources in the Study Area of the East Bay Regional Parks District’s (EBRPD’s) Wildfire Hazard Reduction and Resource Management Plan (Plan) the proposed project. Also included is a discussion of potential impacts to such resources as a result of project implementation, as well as mitigation recommendations, as warranted. LSA Associates, Inc., provided EBRPD with a more detailed report concerning cultural and paleontological resources that is available for review at EBRPD’s Administrative Headquarters 2950 Peralta Oaks Court, Oakland CA. The lands managed by EBRPD are home to a wide range of cultural and paleontological resources. These resources contribute to the diverse historical and geological background of the San Francisco Bay Area, and are unique, nonrenewable community assets. Such resources on EBRPD lands include, but are not limited to, prehistoric and historical archaeological sites, historical buildings and structures, areas of traditional or religious value to contemporary communities, and fossiliferous geological deposits. 1. Setting This subsection describes the existing conditions for cultural and paleontological resources in the Study Area. The subsection begins with a description of the methods used to obtain background information, followed by an overview of the Study Area’s prehistory, ethnography, history, and paleontology/geology. A summary of recorded cultural and paleontological resources in the Study Area follows. Finally, the legislative context for cultural and paleontological resources is presented.

Box 538 I • Oakland, California 94605 — Dear Friends, It is with great pleasure that the Board of Directors presents the 1 997 East Bay Regional Park District Master Plan. This Master Plan pledges the continued implementation of the visions and ideals of the public spirited citizens who formed the District in 1 934 and dedicates this continued effort to those who have worked selflessly over the past 63 years to create and care for this extraordinary Regional Park System. The 1997 District Master Plan will guide us for the next decade, well into the 21st Century. Our hopes and dreams for the future of the East Bay Regional Park District are embodied in this plan. The Master Plan recognizes the two primary duties of the District: the conservation of our scenic, natural, and open space resources and the provision of needed recreation opportunities, and describes the process to find a proper balance between these responsibilities. The Master Plan also recognizes the need to expand our parks, trails, and services as a proper response to the need of our dynamic, diverse, and growing region. Many citizens worked countless hours on the preparation and review of this Master Plan. The Board of Directors deeply appreciates this public participation and we commit ourselves to continue to work with you, our neighbors and friends to provide the highest standard of resource conservation and recreational service for the citizens of Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

  • Guide to Visiting California's Grasslands
    Guide to Visiting California's Grasslands Guide to Visiting California's Grasslands California's native grasslands are incredibly diverse and biologically important ecosystems. Yet grasslands remain one of the most under-protected of California's vegetation types, and native grasslands have undergone the greatest percentage loss of any habitat type in the state--including much-publicized losses in wetland and riparian systems. The individual profiles in this Guide to Visiting California's Grasslands are written to open the readers' eyes to the diversity and natural beauty of native grasslands, to provide specific information about each site's ecology and management, and to make it possible for you to visit native grasses in the ground. All of the locations included are publicly accessible grasslands. The profiles will tell you how to reach the site, best times to visit, what to look for, and where you may find similar sites. You are encouraged to print the profile and take it with you when you visit. Elements of this guide were developed with the assistance of a LEGACI Grant from the Great Valley Center.
