Board members of the volunteer organization, including President Michael Bowen and David Hop, explained the project, which removed large displaced portions of the concrete creek bed and installed natural boulder weirs. Guests, including Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan and Orinda Mayor Inga Miller spoke and also walked the newly leveled path along the river, viewing the work done. Bauer-Kahan told Lamorinda Weekly that it was "so beautiful to see this important first step towards the full restoration of San Pablo Creek." The event was catered by a donation from board member Suzzanne Uhland. |
