    Description

    Help Restore Beaconsfield Canyon--last Saturday of the month

    Join local volunteers in restoring beautiful Beaconsfield Canyon, between Chelton and Ascot drives, in Oakland's Montclair district. We pull invasive plants, plant natives, clear debris for fire safety, build trails, and enjoy the urban wilderness. We supply tools, gloves, snacks and water. Wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed toe shoes with decent treads for slippery ground. Meet at 2639 Beaconsfield Place, just off Chelton Drive. Walk in on the dirt road. For more info, email richard@rkcommunications.com.

    We meet the last Saturday of each month, 9-12, with exceptions for Earth Day (April) and Creek-to-Bay Day (September) and special winter planting days when we meet on those days instead. Upcoming workdays in 2026 are January 24 (special Planting Day), February 28, March 28, April 25 (Earth Day). Note: No bathrooms in Beaconsfield Canyon.
