Information

Often it is the work of private citizens that keeps a wide variety of Oakland Parks in working order, as park funding often gets diverted elsewhere in the city budget. Enter Garber Park Stewards in 2010. With the important goals of reducing the risk of wildfires, improving the trails, and removing invasive species -- including vast swaths of Himalayan blackberry, Cape ivy, and French broom. In doing so, they have exposed Harwood Creek, as well as the large stone fireplace gathering area. Shelagh Brodersen and Lech Naumovich (top row) pass on the reins of the Garber Park Stewards in 2022 to Ruby Soto Cardona and Wyllie Clayson.
