Hot and dusty work today clearing Miller Path East (between Grizzly Peak and Creston Road). Lots of thorny blackberry and holly bushes added to the fun! Just a few people helping out to be able to keep socially distanced while wearing masks. Wow, the path looks so much better! Photo: Colleen Neff

A moment on Sunday's Intersections walk as we paused to watch the sunset. We are in the final days of September and of our art event. If you haven't done so yet, and if the smoke clears, we encourage you to walk the paths and check out the #pathwayart in the next couple of days. Here's a printable pdf map with the locations: https://www.berkeleypaths.org/s/Intersections-Map.pdf

Don't miss this opportunity to walk the paths while enjoying some local artists' work!
