LOCATION

This project will help reconnect members of the Ohlone community, and especially the Chochenyo band native to the East Bay, to the specific land and essential land-based relationships and practices from which they have been cut off. We propose to restore former grazing land, currently dominated by fireprone annual grasses, into a Test Plot that establishes native food and medicinal plants on this spectacular west facing hillside overlooking the San Francisco bay.

Initial planting Winter 2024-2025

Partners include Test Plot, Lawrence Hall of Science, Terremoto, mak-’amham

Supported by a grant from the Xerces Society
