Huckleberry Nature Preserve
          Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve is an ecological jewel. The native plant community here is found nowhere else in the East Bay. It represents a relic plant association found only in certain areas along California's coast where ideal soil and climatic conditions exist. You are within the boundaries of an island in time... what's left of a time gone by.


          Walking the deserted, two-mile trail through exotic plants, every now and then seeing Mount Diablo through the trees, it sure doesn't feel like you're walking in Oakland.
