Current Project
Mosswood Park / Kaiser Hospital Cleanup
Originally, this project in honor of the Kaiser Hospital staff who were facing the Covid storm.
​
But as we got deeper into cleaning the park, we realized that the park itself was deeply compromised by the impact of the homeless campsites that overtook the park in 2019. That legacy includes hundreds of hypodermic needles and micro-trash embedded in the mud boarding Broadway.
Our goal is to restore the park to it's natural state. This area is native oak habitat, our goal is to restore it to a state where anyone can experience the feel of an oak forest; and it's safe for kids to play in the dirt.
​
This cleanup includes Mosswood Park itself and the Highway offramps in this area.

Current Project
Strawberry Canyon Cleanup
From the Stadium to Grizzly Peak along Centennial. Our current focus is the area around the Strawberry Canyon Firetrail parking lot (see outlined area on map).
There is a large amount of trash on the hillside above the pools, primarily from camp sites in the woods. When we've completed this, we'll move up the canyon.
​
We are very grateful for support from UC Berkeley Facility Services, Landscape Services Operations for trash pickup.
