In the early 1990s El Cerrito’s two-mile stretch of the Ohlone Greenway had exactly one tree – until someone cut it down. It's a different place today.
For the trees and plants on El Cerrito’s two mile stretch of the Ohlone Greenway, we can thank volunteers, a city contract arborist, and a dedicated city official and staff.
Let’s walk the Greenway while hearing from Steve Price, organizer and lead volunteer, and Steve Batchelder, then the city’s consulting arborist. Every block along the Greenway has its own story – including the mysterious Dinosaur Forest.
Co-sponsored by the El Cerrito Trail Trekkers and the El Cerrito Historical Society
NOTE: This flat, two-mile walk ends at Del Norte BART.
This walk reprises the first gathering in July; see our
2026 Hikes page.
