When there are volunteer opportunities you will be contacted by the coordinator of that site, which could be Transition Berkeley, Friends of Ohlone Park, or CHIA (California Habitats Indigenous Activists).
This Project is coordinated by Transition Berkeley in collaboration with Berkeley Parks and Recreation Dept., Friends of Ohlone Park, and CHIA.
Funding support has been provided by the Chancellor's Community Partnership Fund, the Rotary Club of Berkeley and the Berkeley Parks and Recreation Dept.
MORE ABOUT NATIVE PLANTSNative plants are ones that have adapted to the local conditions and are the foundation for nature restoration.
They attract butterflies, birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, bees and other pollinators that evolved with those plants, and over time create a working natural ecosystem, without pesticides, and without artificial fertilizers. They are naturally drought tolerant too!
The butterfly and bird life in particular in a true native plant garden is often spectacular. With the right plants, it's not hard for communities to create small patches of nature throughout the city.
