(courtesy of Friends of Five Creeks website) Join <a href="https://www.zeffy.com/ticketing/east-bay-creek-restoration-how-it-all-started-panel-conversation">Wholly H2O</a> for a fun and inspiring evening delving into the history of the creek and ecosystem restoration movement in the East Bay in the 1980-90's. Those brave and bold enough to challenge burying creeks as a land management tool, and then restore creeks buried and degraded, will be there to talk about their efforts and reminisce about their strategies and alliances.  <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnsteere/" target="_blank">John Steere</a> - East Bay Citizens for Creek Restoration, leads the discussion of SF East Bay Creek Restoration: How it started Panelists will share stories between them about the projects they launched in the 1980s - 90s - why, how, and what were the results. <ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathy-kramer-0397b217a/" target="_blank">Kathy Kramer</a> - East Bay Citizens for Creek Restoration, Friends of Sausal Creek, Friends of San Leandro Creek, Aquatic Outreach Institute </li><li>Alan LaPointe - Urban Creeks Council</li><li><a href="https://creeks.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/publications/charb.crk3_0.pdf" target="_blank">Bob Charbonneau</a> - Strawberry Creek</li><li><a href="https://baynature.org/article/what-flows-beneath-the-temescal/">Bruce Dougla</a>s - East Bay Citizens for Creek Restoration, Friends of Temescal Creek</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-thilgen-a2ba6413/">Michael Thilgen</a> - Friends of Sausal Creek</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-freeman-01129b5/https://www.browerdellumsinstitute.org/">Robin Freeman</a> - Strawberry Creek; Wildcat Creek, Diversity in restoration; Mwerrit College Restoration classes</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/janet-sowers-32658226/">Janet Sowers</a> - East Bay Creeks Maps (OMCA)</li></ul>Date: Tuesday, April 8thTime: 7 -9 pmLocation: <a href="https://www.berkeley.edu/map/genetics-and-plant-biology/">Genetics and Plant Biology Bldg, Room 100, University of California, Berkeley, CA</a> (please see map at bottom of this announcement - the building is circled in red) Cost: Thanks to Zeffy, there are no ticketing fees for anyone.<ul><li>Got Here First: $15.00 (first five tickets, available until March 8)</li><li>Early Bird Tickets - $20.00  (through March 22)</li><li>Standard Tickets -  $25.00  (March 23 - April 8) </li><li>At the Door Tickets $27.50 (At the door)</li><li>As always, if you need a discounted or free ticket, reach out to <a href="mailto:info@whollyh2o.org">info@whollyh2o.org</a></li></ul>This is Part 1 of a two-part series - The Creeks of the San Francisco East Bay - then and now. <a href="https://www.zeffy.com/ticketing/east-bay-creek-restoration-how-its-going-now-panel-conversation">Part 2, East Bay Creek Restoration: How it's going now - Panel Conversation will be held Tues, May 6th, 7-9pm, UC Berkeley</a> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1740619780/hvtkmpjsfoqkjmrf6rw3.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%" /><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1740619905/xtfnploegr5oh4xzpio0.jpg" style="width:305px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%" /> (Photos Courtesy of John Steere) We are so dang grateful for funding from <a href="https://www.ebmud.com/recreation/east-bay/east-bay-watershed-master-plan-update" target="_blank">East Bay Municipal Utility District</a>, <a href="https://www.acpwa.org/programs-services/index.page?">County of Alameda Public Works Agency</a><a href="http://his is Part 1 of a two-part series - The Creeks of the San Francisco East Bay - then and now.
