Friends of Sausal Creek, founded by Michael Thilgen and local residents 30 years ago, aims to protect and enhance the historic Sausal Creek watershed in Oakland. The nonprofit has restored miles of habitat, planted tens of thousands of native species, and now supports a thriving ecosystem, including a wild population of rainbow trout. Volunteers actively monitor the creek’s health, clear invasive plants, and promote awareness of biodiversity. Many community members, including families and students, participate in restoration efforts, emphasizing the importance of reconnecting with nature. The organization encourages residents to take similar actions at home, fostering a supportive environment for wildlife.
