Grand Opening Planned Of La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve

From Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District: Beginning December 1, hikers and equestrians will have free daily access to six miles of trail from a new parking lot at the end of Sears Ranch Road. The trail traverses forests, creeks and ranchlands with panoramic coastal views. New interpretive signs connect visitors to nature and local history. The preserve will become Midpen’s second area to allow cattle grazing alongside recreation as a way to continue Coastside ranching traditions and manage healthy grasslands. The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, along with partners, elected officials and the public, will celebrate the grand opening of La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve with a ribbon cutting:

WHEN: Thursday, November 30 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pmWHERE: 900 Sears Ranch Road, La Honda, CA 94020The $1.2 million project was funded by Measure AA, a bond passed by local voters in 2014. The first public access for this Coastside preserve is an exciting step toward achieving the community’s long-term vision that aims to balance recreation, interpretation of its unique cultural and natural history, cattle ranching and environmental restoration.
