Please review our current field trip options below.  Which field trip module would you like?

1) Joaquin Miller Park Native Plant Nursery - Plant Propagation, Pollination, and Community Resilience
  • The nursery is the heart of our restoration program at FOSC! Get a behind-the-scenes look at the start of a habitat restoration project and learn how we propagate plants to create a more resilient ecosystem. Explore different pollinators, plant adaptations, and help us with a variety of tasks that keep our nursery running.
2) Dimond Park - Water Connections
  • Our landscapes and communities are all connected by water. See a watershed in action, learn about the unique plant and animal residents of Sausal Creek—like the wild population of Rainbow Trout that live here—and get hands-on experience with habitat restoration.
3) Dimond Park - Biodiversity and Community Resilience
  • Everyone deserves access to a safe, healthy ecosystem. Join in on FOSC’s work to create diverse, resilient ecosystems, explore the interwoven relationships between humans and the landscape, and learn how you can take action in your own life to protect the wild spaces that are important to you.
4) Fern Ravine - Redwood Ecology and Ecosystems Connection
  • Oakland's coast redwoods are remarkable ecological giants that are the keystone of the Fern Ravine ecosystem. Learn about the dramatic history and resilient rebound of this forest, the unique intersection of environs (wetland, riparian, redwood forest) at the headwaters of the Sausal Creek, and their ecological and climate-regulating allyship for plant, animal, and human communities in Oakland.
