Baxter Creek Work Party

Join El Cerrito’s Green Team volunteers and El Cerrito’s new Environmental Program Manager (trees, landscapes, stormwater and creeks) to pickup litter, remove invasive species, and maintain the landscape of this El Cerrito jewel.

Meet at the intersection of the Ohlone Greenway and San Pablo Ave., north of where BART crosses over San Pablo Ave.

Guidance will be given on what plants are invasive (or not), removal techniques, correct pruning methods, etc.At the conclusion, join us offsite for a no-host lunch/snack and learn about efforts to develop a core group of volunteer stewards that will regularly partner in maintaining this gem of a site.
