⚠️ Road/Trail Access Alert ⚠️ As part of our fire mitigation efforts, roads and trails within Tilden Regional Park will be intermittently closed through December. For your safety, please stay clear of work areas, and follow all posted signs and staff directions.

The East Bay Regional Park District Fire Department’s Fuels Management team is conducting the work, which is one of several large projects to remove eucalyptus trees, heavy brush, and woody debris to reduce wildfire risk.
Work will impact park roads and trails Monday through Friday during regular working hours, when crews will operate heavy machinery to remove trees and brush. All active closures will be signed and barricaded. Trails and roads will remain open as usual during evenings and weekends.

This calving season, remember to keep it moo-ving. 🐮 August through October is the time of year that you're likely to see young calves among grazing herds in East Bay Regional Parks. We know, they're cute and fluffy, but for your safety and the safety of the cattle, no touching! Here are some of our udderly essential DOs/DO NOTs:

🐂 DO NOT approach.
🐄 DO admire the calves from afar.
🐂 DO NOT get between mother cows and young calves.
🐄 DO keep your distance to avoid causing cows distress.
🐂 DO NOT worry if you see a calf by itself.
🐄 DO assume the mother cow is nearby and will return.
🐂 DO NOT approach, touch, or try to relocate a calf by itself. This includes selfies!
🐄 DO keep your dogs on a leash where livestock are present.

If you believe a calf is in significant distress or appears to be injured, sick, or dead, please note the location, the color of the animal, the ear tag number, and report it to park staff at (510) 881-1833.

Can you tell the difference? Swipe to see if you know the difference between moths and butterflies as we continue celebrating the community science project !

How can you tell them apart? The biggest tell is usually the time of day, since butterflies are active during the day and most moths are active at night. That's why the best time to go mothing is after the sun has set—but here are a couple of other things to look out for:

🦋 Antennae: Butterflies have club-shaped antennae with a bulb at the top, while moths have more feathery, tapered antennae.
🦋 Wings at rest: Butterflies generally rest with their wings folded up over their back, while moths generally rest with their wings flattened horizontally.
🦋 Appearance: Generally, butterflies are more brightly colored with smooth, slim bodies, while moths are often more neutrally colored with stockier, furry bodies.

Can you spot the tells in these pictures?
