Site Historical Ecology

Through an interactive timeline, you are invited to explore Peralta Hacienda Park’s ecological history through the eyes of the Peralta Creek. The Creek acts as a central witness to the ecological and cultural shifts of the Fruitvale district and helps to frame a temporally vast narrative. Throughout this exploration, we draw your attention to the shifting interactions between humans and nature in this riparian space, and the ways these actors have mutually co-constructed each another and the broader environment.
