This $750,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 under the Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126) will support the East Bay Regional Park District's efforts to improve public access and water quality in the Tilden Regional Park and Wildcat Creek watershed. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include: removing a concrete weir, restoring 500 linear feet of creek bed and banks, installing 3,500 native watershed plants, constructing two free-span bridges, and upgrading a parking lot with a stormwater retention area. These activities are intended to enhance water flow, reduce runoff and trash, stabilize creek banks, and improve overall watershed health and water quality downstream. The project also aims to increase public access to Tilden Regional Park. The expected long-term outcomes include habitat restoration and improved water quality to benefit native fish and plant species within the Wildcat Creek watershed.
