South Park Drive in Tilden to close for 5 months to protect newts

The closure, which has been done during the newts’ seasonal migration since the 1980s, allows the salamanders to seek out the higher air moisture levels they favor for breeding.

Small, iconic, and endangered, California least terns return every year to Alameda. In the early 1970s, the NAS Alameda base commander’s wife noticed and protected about 10 pairs of birds. In 2024, over 500 nests were recorded. Sharol Nelson-Embry tells their story with photos by Rick Lewis. https://alamedapost.com/features/nature/31-yearsf-return-terns-bus-tours-alameda/

Another beautiful hike at Sobrante Ridge Regional Preserve! This time I brought my husband (OG hiking buddy) along with our sweet pupper Max. We got to see the Alameda (or Pallid) Manzanita in bloom! 😃
