Through our Green Initiative Fund Grant, we were able to create two Bear Pantry Plots at the UVA Community Garden.

The Bear Pantry plots at the UVA Community Garden is a  dedicated space for growing seasonal produce to help address food insecurity at the Village. 

This collaborative project with Green Initiative Fund aims to:

  • Provide diverse and nutritious food options to the community, build community through growing food and provide educational opportunities.

  • Bring Back the Insects to UVA Community Garden

  • Establish habitats in the UVA community garden that will attract beneficial insects year around

  • Support both the gardeners and environment, through planting a mix of California native plants.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

horše ṭuuxi
!
Native American Student Development recognizes that UC Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band. 

We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has benefitted, and continues to benefit, from the use and occupation of this land since the institution’s founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community, inclusion and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university’s relationship to Native peoples. As members of the Berkeley community, it is vitally important that we not only recognize the history of the land on which we stand, but also, we recognize that the Muwekma Ohlone people are alive and flourishing members of the Berkeley and broader Bay Area communities today.

This acknowledgement was co-created with the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and Native American Student Development and is a living document.
