Friends of Piedmont Way is a non-profit organization working in partnership with the City of Berkeley and the University of California to rehabilitate Frederick Law Olmsted's first residential parkway, Piedmont Way, a national resource and state of California landmark. With support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Association for Olmsted Parks, the City of Berkeley, PGAdesign, Inc., the UCB Chancellor's Community Partnership Fund, Cal Alumnae/i, the Inter-fraternity Council and the community at large, we have developed a replanting plan for the historic parkway.

We are currently raising funds, to match a $75,000 award from the 2007 UCB Chancellor's Fund, in order to begin replanting in 2008.

"The symbolism and significance of planting a tree has universal power in every culture and every society on Earth, it is a way for individual men, women and children to participate in creating solutions for the environmental crisis." - Al Gore, Earth in the Balance
