Description
We are creating fascinating virtual and in-person natural and cultural history creek tours in the San Francisco East Bay. We're seeking a few folks who have the capacity and interest to do deep research into the creek's history - flora, fauna, geology, historical occupation, city planning, race relations - we're very focused on including BIPOC histories embedded in the watersheds we're touring. This work requires living in the Bay Area.
