Sheila Sabine - Out and About - Martin Luther King Regional Shoreline Reserve

Did you ever wonder about all those birds by the Oakland Airport when you take off on the runway?



Today with my great Rotary friends, we visited the Martin Luther King Regional Shoreline Reserve. Located near the bustling Oakland International Airport, this 741 acre park, protecting the once extensive marshland of the San Leandro Bay is a wonderful jewel tucked away in the shadows of urban living.

There is 50 acre Arrowhead marsh which is part of the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network with more than 30 varieties of shorebirds who visit during the winter months. The setting is lovely, with beautiful views of the bay and a level and easy walking trail which winds gently thru the bird haven. This is a fun place for the entire family including your dogs.

Rotary Peace Grove at Tilden Park

Image
High atop the hills of Tilden Park sits a serene sanctuary known as the Rotary Peace Grove. This section of the park was donated to Berkeley Rotary in 1955 when they began planting redwood trees. Each year, a different tree is dedicated to a leader in world peace and bronze plaques are displayed with the honorees' names at the base of each tree. The members of the Rotary club prune and  clean up regularly to help preserve the magic and the beauty. The hike to the grove makes a wonderful outing for the entire family.
