is one of Albany's hidden gems. It's also the city's only trout stream, says Susan Schwartz, of .
The group is having a work party Saturday at 10 a.m. Meet at Eighth Street and the creek, on the Berkeley-Albany border. That's two blocks north of Gilman Street and three blocks west of San Pablo Avenue (1100 Eighth St. if you're looking it up on a mapping program).
From Schwartz: "We’ll work until 12:30 p.m., pruning and removing morning glory and ivy between Ninth and 10th streets. As always, snacks, water, gloves and tools (are) provided. Wear closed-toed shoes with good traction and clothes that can get dirty. If you want to actually get into the creek, this is your chance — wear water shoes or bring boots (we have a few pairs)."
