Discover nature and history as you stroll Cerrito Creek and climb Albany Hill in a small group with three expert guides: <ul><li>Karen Sorensen, local historian, author of the recent Albany: Stories from the Village by the Bay as well as Images of America: Albany; </li><li>Margot Cunningham, Albany's natural-areas manager and a longtime Albany Hill volunteer steward; and </li><li>Susan Schwartz, head of Friends of Five Creeks. </li></ul>This area has a fascinating history, from Native Americans to ranchos, dynamite, gambling, and a century of citizen effort to save this urban oasis. It also has remarkable diversity of plants and animals that you can enjoy and learn about -- including how to help protect them in an uncertain future.This walk will cover only a little over a mile at a leisurely to moderate pace, but we will climb 310' ft. Albany Hill on a dirt trail with steps (descending on a more moderate service road). Wear sturdy shoes with good traction and bring sticks of you use them. Bring water and a small snack. It is easy to avoid poison oak, but we recommend long pants and long sleeves.We will follow recommended COVID-19 safety measures. As a courtesy to others, we hope all those eligible will have had at least one shot. .Info: email f5creeks@gmail.com.
