Pets dumped in Tilden cause problems, become dinner
The abandoned chickens appeared one afternoon in December, in the parking lot near Tilden Park’s Little Farm. Nine of them, right next to the bus stop. Whoever dumped them had sprinkled feed on the ground, and apparently hoped the Little Farm would adopt them. Not so.
“It’s as much as I can do to keep these animals clean, alive and fed,” said the man known as Farmer Stanley, gesturing to the chickens, cows, sheep and pigs he has taken care of at the farm for more than a decade.
At least two of those abandoned chickens became dinner for the local wildlife, judging by the piles of feathers found on the ground, said park staff. They think – or at least hope – that some of the chickens were adopted, in response to an ad posted, because a bunch disappeared all at once.
The month before the chicken-drop, it was a white bunny, left in a cage at the same spot. Last summer there were five kittens. … Continue reading »
Summer camps: the great outdoors a stone’s throw away
The East Bay Regional Park District still has scholarships (“camperships”) available for its summer day camps — and it is keen to ensure they all get claimed by under-resourced families.
The camps include Little Farm and Junior Lifeguards camps at Tilden Regional Park, as well as swim lessons at Roberts Park in Oakland.
The photographs here demonstrate just how much fun kids can have spending time in Berkeley’s great outdoors.
Financial aid is available for qualifying families. Applications … Continue reading »
Much interest, but still no sign of Honey the goat
It’s day 27 and Honey, the goat that went missing from Tilden Little Farm on January 7, is still nowhere to be found.
David Zuckermann, the park’s supervising naturalist, says there have been many phone calls and lots of interest, particularly after East Bay Regional Parks offered a $1,000 reward for the safe return of the goat, as well as the arrest and conviction of the person, or persons, who took her.
Zuckermann says one Berkeley police detective … Continue reading »

$1,000 reward offered in missing Tilden goat case
Exclusive to Berkeleyside: East Bay Regional Parks is offering a $1,000 reward for the safe return of Honey the goat, as well as the arrest and conviction of the person, or persons, who took her.
Honey went missing from Tilden Little Farm on the evening of January 7 and her disappearance has caused a wave of media interest, as well as a huge number of calls from the public who are variously outraged and concerned, says David Zuckermann, … Continue reading »
Bring back Honey the goat
It caused shockwaves yesterday in the Twittersphere — Honey the goat who lives at Tilden Little Farm (above) had been stolen.
As the Berkeley Voice reported yesterday, the 16-year-old Swiss Alpine milking goat was nabbed from her pen in the Berkeley hills Thursday night.
“I hope that whoever took her had good intentions and brought her to a better place, although I can’t imagine a better place than this,” naturalist James Wilson told the Voice.
Honey is … Continue reading »
