Located in Oakland, California, the Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve is a stunning ecological gem that showcases a unique native plant community exclusive to the East Bay. This 241-acre park represents a relic plant association that can only be found in certain areas along California's coast with specific soil and climatic conditions. The preserve's vegetation has its roots in past climates and geologic history, originating in the distant past along the southern coast of California. Today, similar vegetation can be found on the islands off the Santa Barbara coast and in isolated pockets along the mainland coast. The rock strata in the preserve contain the remains of microscopic diatoms and radiolaria, creating soil that is low in nutritional value but ideal for pioneering chaparral species.
