El Cerrito Hillside Natural Area
Friends of Five Creeks volunteers have begun the huge task of controlling invasive, fire-prone broom in El Cerrito's Hillside Natural Area, 90 acres of remarkably pristine oak forest, creeklets, and grasslands with magnificent views.
Map and Directions
The easiest access to Hillside Natural Area, and the meeting point for most of our work parties, is from Schmidt Lane, uphill (east) from Navellier and west of the El Cerrito Recycling Center (map and directions). Friends of Five Creeks has created a trail map of the trails at Hillside Natural Area, showing other entrances.There is no convenient AC Transit access to the Hillside Natural Area.
