Friends of Sausal Creek, Pernod Ricard, and KOB Give Back to Oakland

Pernod Ricard volunteers joined Keep Oakland Beautiful (KOB) board members at the Friends of Sausal Creek (FOSC) native plant nursery tucked away in the Oakland hills.  FOSC staff shared with the group the importance of reintroducing native plants into the ecosystem.  Volunteers were introduced to California native plant propagation methods and performed nursery tasks including preparing pots, transplanting native plants, and removing invasive species. 

A small team of Pernod Ricard volunteers assembled two beautiful benches made from recycled materials. In the hot California sun, we all hydrated and greatly appreciated the donation of Boxed Water is Better! We appreciate the donation of Boxed Water is Better as it demonstrates a sustainable product consistent with the circular transformation philosophy. 

Volunteers transplanted nearly 100 California native plants which will be reintroduced to the ecosystem once mature.  Plants will be used in creek restoration projects which benefit the entire watershed region.  A team of Pernod Ricard volunteers assembled two beautiful benches made from recycled materials.  The benches will be used by future weary volunteers and Friends of Sausal Creek staff.
