This month brings updates about our plans for the future. We have reached the culmination of the Vision Plan process with a list of top priority actions and are looking at ways to complete these projects, possibly through a Bond Measure. Also of note--in February Midpen will celebrate Black History Month at Ravenswood Open Space Preserve and offer a variety of docent-led outdoor activities morning, noon and night!
See you on the trails!

 Vision Plan Update
On January 29, the Midpen Board of Directors approved a 40-year Vision Plan with 54 projects, including a slate of 25 highest priority regional open space projects ranging from opening preserves and building trail connections to improving water quality, protecting the coastside, restoring forestlands, and creating wildlife corridors in an increasingly urbanized region.

 Upcoming Bond Measure
At its February 26, 2014 meeting, the Board of Directors will decide about placing a bond measure on the June 3, 2014 ballot. The funds generated would fulfill the public's priorities as determined through the visioning process. These priorities include providing more public access, restoring and preserving sensitive habitats including redwood forests and preserving more open space as opportunities arise.
