For many, Berkeley’s 136 paths and stairways are a local resource and historical treasure that seem to be maintained and improved by an invisible hand. Overgrown paths are magically weeded overnight. Decaying steps replaced after decades of wear. Much-needed handrails appear out of nowhere. Group walks are organized.
In fact, all these benefits are planned and executed by a hardworking team of BPWA board members working quietly behind the scenes. We meet monthly, either in person or over Zoom, to review and discuss BPWA activities, financials, and our collaboration with the City of Berkeley. In case you ever wondered about the folks who make BPWA a vital organization, here’s a brief rundown on who we are and what we do. And if you’re ever tempted to join our efforts, we’re always looking for new board members!
