Join Oakland Kids First at Castlemont High School next weekend to help us kick-off another school year at our amazing community farm. Deep East Oakland is a food desert and grocery prices are at an all time high, which makes urban farming projects critical community resources for working class people.

Please roll up your sleeves with us for the morning, pitch in on some projects, meet folks in your community, and connect with the land in the process.

We'll spend the day engaged in weeding, planting prep, chicken care, trash pick up & watering.
Please wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. Remember to bring water and a pair of gloves if you have them.

Come ready to lend a hand and connect with our growing community. Let's make a difference together. We can't wait to see you there!

Everyone is invited!

Come celebrate Creek To Bay Day by volunteering with Friends of Sausal Creek. Your efforts will help protect native plant and wildlife habitat, help keep communities safe and more climate-resilient, and improve accessibility for more people to enjoy our Oakland parks.


Fern Ravine is a unique intersection of ecosystems where oak woodland, shrub-scrub, grassland, wetland, and redwood forest ecosystems meet. As a headwater tributary stream, the Fern Ravine Creek that connects these zones plays a critical role in maintaining the health of the entire Sausal Creek Watershed.


Join us for a habitat restoration workday of weeding and mulching in Fern Ravine. The workday will begin with a brief tour of the wetland and redwood restoration at this site which FOSC has been stewarding for over a decade.

A community forming day to care for the native oak trees and clean up the beloved Lakeside Park Snack Shack. Volunteers can expect a range of activities, including non-native vegetation removal, sheet mulching, grounds sweeping, trash removal, and painting over graffiti.
