On Thursday, March 15, 10 volunteers — including five Park Commissioners — gathered with Public Works staff to plant 40 riparian plants along the creek, donated by Watershed Nursery in Richmond. The group planted five different species, all of which are suited to thrive in the Bushy Dell Creek watershed:
- California Box Elder (Acer negundo var. californicum)
- Buttonwillow (Cephalanthus occidentalis var. californica)
- California Wild Rose (Rosa californica)
- White Alder (Alnus rhombifolia)
- Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia)
