Albany Hill, the little hill next to the East Bay shoreline, is an ancient and sacred hill. It has a fascinating geological, natural, and human history. We help the hill through habitat restoration and environmental education work. We remove invasive plants, clean up trash, and restore and augment native plant populations with stock grown from Albany Hill seeds and cuttings. We also hold nature walks and other activities on the hill to help people appreciate the plants and animals as well as history of the little hill. Join us.
