Become An Alameda Creek StreamKeeper:
Adopt a section of Alameda Creek to help us monitor fish populations and
stream habitat. You can help monitor fish spawning and rearing areas, identify
problems with fish passage, and document problems with water quality, pollution,
dumping, poaching or habitat destruction. StreamKeepers can also be trained
as docents to provide information to the public on fish and wildlife and
natural values of the creek. Learn more about our StreamKeeper
program.

Join the BioBlitz in the Alameda Creek Watershed:
A BioBlitz is a rapid survey of the biodiversity of an ecosystem, a unique combination of taxonomic inventory, public outreach, and science education. Our BioBlitzes will team professional scientists and naturalists with community members to discover, map and learn about the living creatures in the Alameda Creek watershed. We will search for and record plants, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, insects and more. Our first BioBlitz will be in the Sunol area in March of 2014. Find out more on our BioBlitz web page.
