Who benefits from preserving Butters Canyon?
People and the environment throughout the Bay Area. The canyon provides a quiet place to encounter nature for dozens of daily pedestrians in the neighborhood and dozens more bicyclists from every community in the Bay Area. In addition, the creekside ecosystem that it represents helps to provide biodiversity for the entire city of Oakland, and its above-ground seasonal creek and riparian corridor (creekside ecosystem) provide the city one of its last remaining riparian ecosystems within city limits.
