Alameda Creek is the third largest tributary to San Francisco Bay (after the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers). The Alameda Creek watershed is the geographic area drained by Alameda Creek and its tributaries, encompassing more than 680 square miles of the East Bay. The watershed ranges from streams draining the south slopes of Mount Diablo in the north, most creeks from Mount Hamilton in the south, and arroyos as far east as Altamont Pass.
This project aims to learn how plants and animals live in and use the Alameda Creek Watershed, and the information gathered here will help to manage and protect them. Our goal for the project is to:
(a) collect reliable information on plants and animals in the watershed
(b) track trends in populations, and
(c) lead more people appreciate and enjoy our remarkable and diverse watershed.
Please tell us what you see! Include details like location, time of day, surroundings, condition of plants, or what the animal was doing. If you have photos, please share them.
