4th Sunday Event - Plant Trees in Oakland April 26th

Looking for a small but impactful way to help in the fight against climate change, and green your community over a weekend? Volunteer to plant trees! Our Tree Team plants trees in sidewalks all around Oakland. As these trees grow, they help to improve air quality, sequester carbon, and improve the environmental conditions of our neighborhoods. Many of the beautiful large trees you see along sidewalks are a result of our volunteers, and we still have so much more to do. No experience is required, but volunteers should be ready to do some digging and get a bit dirty. What: Planting trees along sidewalks and streets in Oakland for homeowners. After the training, we will split into smaller groups and drive to the sites. Who: You! Bring your friends and/or make new ones. No experience is needed. You should be able to lift 30 pounds (half the weight of a new tree). What to Bring: Wear closed-toed shoes, clothes that you can get dirty, and a hat for sun protection; bring your own water, lunch and a snack. We'll provide the shovels, picks, brooms, and gloves, but if you have your own please bring them along as we are short on supplies these days. If you are bringing a minor, please let us know. How: Dig a hole, take the tree out of its pot and put it into the ground, backfill the soil around the roots, and sweep the sidewalk clean. (Don't worry; we'll teach you whatever you don't know -- or take a peek at the guide here: http://www.treesforoaklandflatlands.org/plant-a-tree.html) Where: Meet at our staging area (**1071 61st St. Oakland 94608)**. The trees will be in other places around town, so **please be on time** so we can meet before we disperse. We can plant in light rain, but if we decide to cancel because of heavier rain, we'll announce it here by 8am. For more information or to join our email list, contact us at treesforoakland.org Note: There is no bathroom on-site so make sure to go before you arrive! If you are lost or running late, call or text Bart at 510 917 4352

Spring Ride - Weekend Cruise

Throwing this out there to see if there is any interest. The weather has been great, so let's get out there and ride. This route will take us through some great Peninsula roads that are off the main roads and are manageable to all, but not boring at all. We'll do about 2 hours, break for lunch (Alice's @ Woodside), and depart for the 2nd half for about another 1.5 hours before we break up and go our separate ways. This will be a chill ride, so everyone is welcome as we will stop (wait) at major intersections to make sure we stay together. Please make sure you are comfortable riding on city streets and major highways. Make sure your equipment is in good working order. Please respect each other's riding level. PLEASE ARRIVE WITH A.) The appropriate safety & riding gear B.) A well maintained motorcycle C.) A full tank of gas. There are gas stations near our meeting point and plenty along the route. The route is attached for you to preview (Google maps - click 'preview' towards the bottom for the exact route - not the exact route). Ride is dependent on the weather and number of riders participating (hoping for at least 4 riders). **_Route..._** https://maps.app.goo.gl/soG1fyx4mPqW8uZB7?g_st=ac
