We are restoring native habitat in the Temescal Creek watershed.
Through the City of Emeryville's Adopt-a-Spot program, our first project in Temescal Creek Park is restoring native plant communities that support biodiversity.
“A lot of flowers that I chose are blue. It’s my intention that they represent the creek.”
— Whitney Grover, Friends of Temescal Creek

We’ll gather every 2nd Sunday of the month in Temescal Creek Park to steward this section of the watershed. Our planting spot is just to the east of the playground, between the playground and the basketball court.
August 9th 10am-12pm
September 13th 10am-12pm
October 11th 10am-12pm
We’ve set up a GoFundMe to help cover the cost of plants, sourced from The Watershed Nursery and other local gardeners and naturalists.
We thank you for your support!
