POINT ISABEL RESTORATION Pt. Isabel received a make-over at our May 7 work party thanks to the 30 volunteers who came out to help. The vol- unteers are shown below in a photo by Jane Kelly What an amazing job everyone did! We welcomed a De La Salle student and his mother from Lafayette, two girl scouts and their moth- ers from Lafayette, a huge contingent of energetic volunteers from the engineering firm Black & Veatch, Chinese Scholars Zhihai and Dasheng (who took the opportunity to work at Pt. Isabel one last time before returning to the Shanghai CDC at the end of the month), three new volunteers including a CNPSer, and many of our dedicated regular volunteers. Chase from De La Salle arrived early and moved the stacks of weeds from previous work parties into the dumpster before distributing the remaining pile of mulch. He also showed his artistic side by arranging among the planted natives a curved tree trunk found at the bottom of the mulch pile. The Girl Scout crew set to work digging up radishes, oxalis, and invasive grasses from below the newly planted area. In the process, they unearthed a couple of small bleached bones which a CNPSer, Ron, is going to have ID'd for us. The Scouts also found some broken ceramics similar to earlier finds that we will forward to the East Bay Regional Park District naturalist. The Black & Veatch crew removed masses of invasive grasses and radish, extending the area available for re-vegetation sig- nificantly. We look forward to planting this area with native grasses and California sagebrush ( Artemisia califomica) in the fall prior to the rains. Point Isabel restoration is on the first Saturday of each month at Pt. Isabel on the Bay Trail. The next one will be on June 4. Our hours are 10 am to 2 pm. EARLY CNPS SUPPORTER AND BOARD MEMBER Alma Oberst Holmgren, a veteran San Francisco news woman and journalism educator, early CNPS supporter and corre- sponding secretary, died March 15, 2011 at her Berkeley home within days of attending performances of the San Francisco Symphony and the Metropolitan Opera. She was 95. Arriving in San Francisco in 1955 at the invitation of the edi- tor of Scripps-Ho ward's San Francisco News , a sister paper of the Evansville Indiana Press where she began her career, she became book editor, working on the paper through its merger with San Francisco Call Bulletin in 1959. She fell in love with San Francisco and with California's natural beauty and made her home here until her death. After another newspaper consolidation. Miss Oberst returned to college to complete her journalism degrees, a bachelor's degree from San Francisco State and a master's from UC Berkeley in 1964. Soon after, she became the first head of the department of journalism at Contra Costa College, a com- munity college in San Pablo, beginning a two-decade career that produced dozens of award-winning weekly newspapers called The Advocate. Her native curiosity and inquisitiveness, honed by her own career in journalism, spawned scores of reporters, journalists and editors whose professional rigor won them places on newspapers, journals and magazines throughout the country. with interests in everything from national politics to sports to food to international shipping. Advocate editors routinely spent long hours with their advi- sor producing the weekly paper, and before the days when students addressed their teachers by their first names, the intimacy between teacher and student produced a lasting nick-name for her - Miss O. "Because Miss O was a seasoned journalist, she knew what the profession offered: It opened doors to inaccessible people and exciting places. Miss O wanted her students to experience those worlds outside Contra Costa County. Whether taking us to a museum, the opera, a press club dinner, a student journal- ism conference, a Japanese dinner, or to search for wild orchids on a mountain trail, she wasn't just a teacher. She was our Pied Piper, " says John Stark, 1968 Advocate editor now editor of Experience Fife, published by LifeTime Fitness Corporation and former senior editor of People Magazine. At Contra Costa College she seized the opportunity to take the newspaper's enterprise from a sideline of the English depart- ment to a fully independent baccalaureate and professional preparatory enterprise, fighting for a share of the college's instructional and facilities budget, including a fully equipped newspaper laboratory, and later expanded to include radio and television production. The newspaper office had been housed in a Quonset hut, perched at the edge of campus, a remnant of World War II facilities housed at the college's first campus at the Richmond shipyards. Alma Oberst Holmgren was named community college jour- nalism teacher of the year in 1972 by the California Newspaper Publishers Association and was inducted into the Contra Costa College Hall of fame in 2006. Born in Evansville, Indiana and raised in Ownensboro, Kentucky, Alma Oberst Holmgren was the second of six children born to Albert Benedict and Marie Wittgen Oberst. Her father practiced law from an office with a spittoon. Once transplanted to San Francisco, her interests in performing arts, drawing and the natural world blossomed. She became an ac- tive member of the California Native Plant Society, joined and participated in the Sierra Club, learned to draw native plants and flowers, visited museums with a passion and attended symphony and opera performances regularly. She also edited the newsletter for the Volunteer Council of the San Francisco Symphony and followed her students' and extended family's developments in a newsletter she called The Family Bugle which she continued until early this year. At the age of 74, she was married for the first time to Roderick Holmgren, retired head of the Monterey Peninsula College journalism department, whom she had known profession- ally for years. On their honeymoon, the pair walked across England, from St Bee's Head to Robin Hood's Bay. The couple 2 THE BAY LEAF June 2011 divided their time between Berkeley and Carmel, where Mr. Holmgren had a home. She was an unflagging enthusiast of nature walks and mu- seum visits: Her students were routinely 'invited" to Sunday outings to Pt. Reyes with long hikes over the Bear Valley Trail, accompanied by quizzes about names of wildflowers and picnics surrounded by Sunday newspapers. She was notori- ous for inviting her favorite students to dinner parties with notable Bay Area news reporters and editors, assuming they could hold their own with seasoned professionals. Alma Oberst Holmgren was a fierce and unrelenting cham- pion of proper English grammar and usage: Not one of her students could fail to know the difference between often- confused words, such as farther and further and insure/ ensure/ assure. She tirelessly pressed her students to work outside their experience and comfort zones, pushing them to tackle reporting assignments with professionals. She was an untiring champion of the possibility she believed inherent in every student. " Miss O saw our potential, even if we didn't. She never gave up on anyone. Some forty years later I was still calling her for advice and encouragement,." Stark says. The Holmgrens wrote and published Outrageous Fortunes , a history of the consolidation of the American press. Alma Oberst Holmgren is survived by her husband. Rod Holmgren; son in law Jack Holmgren; sister in law Mrs Charles (Amy) Oberst, and nieces Christina Henrikson; Katherine Hutchison; Stephanie Henrikson and Karolyn, all of the East Bay; Carolyn Ragsdale of Davis and Mary Oberst Kulongoski of Portland, Oregon.

Spending time with one another working on the things we value is very rewarding. On April 30 and May 1, volunteers helped keep the nursery open extra hours for Bringing Back the Natives Nursery Extravaganza and Garden Tour. Thank you Jane Kelly, Shirley McPheeters, John Danielsen, Gregg Weber, Tina Wistrom, Dave Caniglia, Beth Keer, and Janice Bray for welcoming visitors, conversing about native plants and garden wildlife, selling lots of plants, and being truly good company. Summer is not the best time to plant many of our local natives, but it's a great time to come in and see them in bloom and fruit, to check out the book of pictures and information, buy the CD to continue studying the plants at home, stock up on books, purchase those nice zinc garden labels to mark where those herbaceous perennials are before they go dormant, converse with our knowledgeable volunteers and do your planning for fall planting, maybe even buying a few plants to take care of in pots at home until planting time comes. The nursery is green and lush following the very wet winter and spring. Sometimes volunteers will be a few feet away from one another without being able to see each other. The plants have become "water junkies" but are slowly adjusting to the twice a week watering schedule. Tuesday afternoons seem to supply plenty of volunteers to cover that, but Satur- days the nursery could use a few more waterers. If you can commit to every week, that is wonderful, but it's also help- ful to have help on a one-time or drop-in basis. Regularly scheduled waterers will be taking vacations and will need back-up. Feel free to e-mail ahead nativehere@ebcnps.org or just drop by when you can. Weeding is another task that can always use more hands. As more and more seedlings and cuttings are potted up and harden off enough, moving plants to the sales floor is a constant task. Seed collection continues throughout the summer, usually on Tuesday mornings, leaving the nursery gate at 9 am. and returning by 2 or 3 pm at the latest, depending on how far away the collection site is and how long we have to hike to get to the target species. For updates on what's going on at Native Here, sign up at the nursery or send us an e-mail asking to be put on our News List. You can also follow us on Facebook — Native Here Nursery.

RESTORATION PROJECTS Saturday, June 4 and July 2, Redwood Regional Park at Skyline Gate, 9:00 am Meet park staff and other volunteers at the Skyline Gate parking lot, from where we'll proceed to rip French broom, or cut and bag seed pods if the ground is too hard. You can bring your own gloves and tools, or the park staff can provide a loaner. See below for directions Saturday, June 11 and July 9, Huckleberry Regional Park 9:30 am Meet at the parking lot, where we will sign in, pick up tools, and decide on the worksite for the month. Several invasive plants are still trying to make inroads, including Vinca, cape ivy, French broom, and Myosotis. Dress in long sleeves and pants for protection, and let us know if you need gloves before you start work. Gloves matter because they prevent much poison oak dermatitis. Directions (to bothregional parks): From Highway 13, exit at Park if you are coming from south of Oakland. Turn left at the exit ramp to go over 13, and turn left again at the traffic light on the other side of the freeway. You will now be on Mountain, which you follow north for a couple of blocks before turning right on Snake (with another traffic light). If you are coming from the north, exit at Moraga/ Thornhill and drive south on Moraga to Snake. To get to Redwood RP, go straight uphill as Snake turns off to the left. You will now be on Shepherd Canyon Road, and you should see Shepherd Canyon Park to the right. Follow this road to the end, and turn right at the junction of Shepherd Canyon and Skyline. Follow Skyline as it winds south, and turn left into the parking lot with the park sign. To reach Huckleberry RP, follow the directions above until you start onto Snake. After only 2 short blocks on Snake, make a hard left turn to stay on Snake. Follow Snake to where it ends at Skyline, roughly 2 miles from the left turn away from Shepherd Canyon. Turn left onto Skyline and follow it a short distance to the Huckleberry sign and lot on the right. June Stewardship in Garber Park Join the Garber Park Stewards for two June work parties: Tuesday, June 7 and Saturday, June 18 from 10 am-noon. The Garber Park Stewards are a local volunteer group dedicated to the preserva- tion and restoration of the park's natural woodland and wetland resources with regard for the safety concerns of the park's many urban neighbors. The planting season is over and the rains have abated, so we are focusing our efforts on preparing the park for the long dry season ahead. We will evict the weeds from of our newly planted Restoration Site and continue our attack on Cape ivy in Horsetail Meadow. In ad- dition, we will continue careful maintenance of the Loop Trail, which becomes overgrown with vegetation as summer progresses. The trails in Garber can be steep and the vegetation dense, so wear long sleeves and pants and sturdy boots or shoes with treads. Directions: The closest address is 136 Evergreen Lane. From Alvarado Road take Slater Lane, then right on Evergreen Lane. The entrance is at the end of the street.
