The East Bay Regional Park District’s bimonthly guide, “Regional in Nature,” suggests various ideas on what to do this Independence Day.
The Park District recently launched a major project to remove approximately 1,000 acres of dead trees in Regional Parks. The extreme amount of tree die-off in Regional Parks, first noticed in October 2020, is a major wildfire safety concern. Dead trees burn hotter, faster and are more likely to cast burning embers ahead of the original fire, creating spot fires. Sudden tree mortality and dieback is a regional issue that is affecting the entire Bay Area region.
Tree Mortality Major Concern in East Bay Hills
The Park District recently celebrated the completion of a newly remodeled and expanded visitor center at Del Valle Regional Park.

PRESERVATION
Founded in 1934, the East Bay Regional Park District preserves and protects over 121,000 acres of beautiful open space in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Our 73 Regional Parks include critical wildlife habitats, shorelines, lakes, creeks, ranchlands, and historic sites.
PUBLIC ACCESS
Wherever you live in the two counties, there is a beautiful Regional Park within a 15-minute drive. Our Parks Express bus program brings underserved children, school groups, and seniors to the parks, while the Regional Parks Foundation’s Campership program enables low-income youth to attend summer camps. Many of our paved regional trails connect to public transit hubs and amenities.
STEWARDSHIP
We work to ensure a healthy and thriving ecosystem that protects wildlife and habitat. We adapt to the changing climate by restoring wetlands, repairing levees, thinning trees, monitoring algae blooms and building park facilities and trails above future 2080 seas levels. Additionally, our parklands remove carbon dioxide from the air, equivalent to the emissions of 60,000 vehicles annually.
RECREATION
There are over 1,250 miles of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding, as well as picnic areas, campgrounds, swim facilities, and golf courses. As a leader of the Healthy Parks Healthy People movement, we invite you to experience physical, mental, and social health benefits by spending time in nature.
