Today, a fire broke out at the Peralta House Museum. We are relieved to share that no one was injured and the damage, while significant, was contained.

A few important updates:

1. ACE Camp continues as usual. Camp areas were unaffected and remain safe for kids.
2. Museum open hours are paused for the week while we air out the building. We'll update you when we're ready to welcome guests back.

This incident is a sobering reminder of how precious and vulnerable places like this are. The Peralta House Museum is not just a building. It's where our community comes to discover, question, and connect with the complicated, layered story of Oakland.

Historic landmarks need a community behind them. If you believe this place deserves to be protected and passed down to future generations, please consider supporting us today.

Help us restore Peralta Creek to the health it deserves. We'll be clearing invasive grasses 🌾, picking up litter 🗑️, and planting tule and dogbane 🌱 two native plants with deep roots in Indigenous basket-making traditions. Every hour you give is a direct investment in this creek and this community. 💚

Well-funded parks across Oakland have dedicated crews for this work. At Peralta Hacienda, that investment comes from people like you. That's what park equity looks like in Fruitvale. 🌳

Tools, gloves, and snacks will be provided. 🧤🥪🌿

This is what a thriving hive looks like: bees streaming in and out, each one on a mission. 🐝

Our hive at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park is alive and buzzing thanks to the dedication of our awesome volunteer, Melody. She has spent countless hours gardening around the park and working to reestablish this very hive. 🌿💛

What you're seeing at the hive entrance isn't chaos. It's a highly organized system. 🤯 Forager bees return loaded with pollen and nectar while guard bees check who's coming in. Every single bee has a role, and together they keep the colony, and our gardens, thriving. 🌸

This hive is part of our ongoing work to support bees and nurture our pollinator garden. 🌻

What an amazing day! This past Saturday, on April 25, Peralta Hacienda Historical Park was alive with community energy from the creek banks to the upper park.

🌿 CREEK RESTORATION IN THE LOWER PARK

Our Water Keepers program and volunteers got their hands in the soil, planting new riparian plants along the banks of Peralta Creek and sheet mulching along the creek corridor and in front of our mural bench. Joining us were the Frontline Catalysts and Trees for Oakland (), who planted five new buckeye trees, deepening the park’s roots and its connection to the land.

🎉 RESOURCE FAIR & DÍA DE LOS NIÑOS IN THE UPPER PARK

Simultaneously, the upper park buzzed with celebration! Community organizations were on hand sharing vital resources and information with our neighbors. And in honor of Día de los Niños, we celebrated the children in our community: gifting toys, distributing groceries, and sharing pajamas with families who needed them.

Days like these remind us why this park matters as a place of healing, restoration, and community care.

Thank you to every volunteer, partner organization, and community members who made April 25 so special. We’ll see you at the park!

🌿 What a day at Lake Chabot!

Our Welcome to Wildlife crew hit the trails with wide eyes and big energy. Kids explored, hiked, played games by the lake, and learned about the local wildlife that call the Bay Area home 🐦

Field trips to regional parks 🌲 and nature areas are a core part of the W2W curriculum, because we believe getting kids outside and into nature isn’t just fun, it’s healing. There’s something powerful about a child discovering the natural world on their own terms.

But the real showstopper? The mobile aquarium 🐟 packed with fish species native to the Bay Area. The kids got up close with creatures they’d never seen before… and some even got to dissect fish for the first time!

Learning that feels like an adventure? That’s what we’re here for. 💚
