Strawberry Creek Restoration Program

Strawberry Creek Restoration Program (SCRP)

Interns work together to:

  • Coordinate and manage volunteers for creek restoration events (weeding, planting, trash pickup)
  • Conduct creek tours for students and community members
  • Maintain a regular presence on the creeks of UC Berkeley

Ideal candidates have an experience with or a desire to learn about:

  • California native plants
  • Water quality
  • Habitat restoration ecology (invasive species removal, native planting, ecological/biological field work experience, etc.)
  • Education and public outreach

The EH&S Environmental Protection team hires UC Berkeley student interns for the SCRP. These positions are made possible by a combination of funds, including the Steve Maranzana Fund for the Environment and the Strawberry Creek Fund.

Woman pulling tarp around plants

Intern Julia Lambert (she/her), fall 2023 to present

Hello! I’m a senior double-majoring in Applied Math and Conservation and Resource Studies. I grew up around the mountains of San Bernardino and absolutely love hiking, identifying native plants, and spending time with loved ones outdoors. My other favorite hobbies include baking cookies and performing improv. I am inspired by the success story of Strawberry Creek and the ways restoration can connect people with nature. I hope to continue urban stream restoration post-graduation!

Intern Loulou and an oak tree

Intern Loulou Ziegler (she/her), fall 2023 to present

Hi! My name is Loulou (she/her). I’m a senior with majors in Geography & Conservation and Resource Studies. My favorite native plant is the Coast Live Oak, for its scraggly yet sturdy limbs, which are great to climb. I love cooking good food, making art and music, and hiking the diverse landscapes of California. Strawberry Creek has been an important place for me since I was young, growing up in Berkeley, and working with SCRP has only helped to grow my appreciation for all it has to offer our community, and what we may have to offer it in return.
