Our Basins of Relations Training Program is in full swing, tuning into the changing seasons as creeks fill and local ecosystems transform after the first rain of the year. Participants have been learning about locally adapted native plants, how to collect their seeds, and the relationships these plants build above and below the soil; threats to the Bay’s seals and sea lions at the Marine Mammal Center and how creek restoration supports the health of downstream wildlife; beekeeping practices at the North Richmond Farm that benefit local pollinators; and Indigenous land stewardship practices in partnership with Sogorea Te’ Land Trust. They have also been hard at work clearing clogged sections of Wildcat Creek to help prevent winter flooding in North Richmond.
This project is supported by the California Strategic Growth Council’s Transformative Climate Communities Program, strengthening the local economy, improving public health, and protecting the environment.
