 on Jackson Ave.\n\nA unique partnership between community members, UC 
 Berkeley students, academics and staff has been working toward creation of 
 a 1.5 acre urban farm, education and research center on the Gill Tract in 
 Albany. Come join us for a Spring Planting Celebration on Saturday, April 
 26, from 11-3 pm, at the corner of Marin and San Pablo in Albany as we 
 celebrate this new joint venture by planting, learning, playing, and eating 
 together!\n\nCommunity members from Albany, Berkeley and other nearby 
 cities will be gathering with university students at the newly prepared 
 site to start the first step in the production of fresh produce for those 
 in the wider community who are least able to afford good food. In addition 
 to putting seedlings into the ground, information and hands-on activities 
 for all ages will be available. Lunch will be provided by the Berkeley 
 Student Food Collective. Feel free to bring additional salads, snacks, or 
 desserts to share our bounty together as a community!\n\nThis section of 
 the Gill Tract has been the site of past academic research on Integrated 
 Pest Management. Later it was assigned to the University’s Capital 
 Projects and slated for development. Following ‘Occupy the Farm’ events 
 on Earth Day 2012 attention has been drawn to the need for land where local 
 food can be grown. Since then the University of California has restored 
 oversight of a section of this agricultural land to the College of Natural 
 Resources for 10 years and began collaborating in a community-university 
 partnership to cultivate a 1.5 acre section known as “Area A,”. The 
 Gill Tract Farm Coalition, an alliance of community members is part of this 
 collaboration. This collaboration is open to community members.\n\nHeavy
