Every ten years, supervisorial districts must be redrawn so that each district is substantially equal in population. This process, called redistricting, is important in ensuring that each Board of Supervisors member represents about the same number of constituents. In the County of Alameda, the Board of Supervisors is responsible for drawing these supervisorial districts. Redistricting is done using U.S. Census data, which is usually released around March 31, 2021, but is expected to be delayed until August due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the County of Alameda, the redistricting process must be completed by December 15, 2021.

Please join at one of the community workdays as they rebuild our urban streams from the ground up!

Dublin will also be utilizing our sibling program the Adopt a Creek Spot, to provide creeks for local citizens and groups to adopt.
