The Friends of Albany Hill works to preserve the special nature and open space in Albany, home to many native species of wildflowers, ferns, shrubs, and trees. We also support the Monarch Butterfly Migration located on the hill during the winter months. Contact us to get involved in gatherings on the hill.

Plants, Birds and Butterflies on Albany Hill
The Friends of Albany Hill presents extensive information pages on the plant species, bird species and butterfly (lepidoptera) species live in the diverse Albany Hills forests and meadows. It’s a real opportunity for local residents to learn about Bay Area nature, both the beauty and the science.
