February Happenings 2025

Many plants in the upper canyon are beginning to transition into their next phase and we are seeing many catkins in bloom! To avoid a catastrophe like LA experienced (and our neighborhood experienced in the 1991 fire), we need to stay vigilant about our risks and know what we can do to lessen them. Here are some resources to help you be prepared. Measure MM $99/parcel tax will be collected and funds made available to the City of Oakland starting with the 2025-2026 property tax period. Read the Vegetation Management Plan.
