OUR MISSION

For the health of our land, water, and people, we the Bay Area Open Space Council foster an interconnected system of healthy communities with parks, trails, agricultural lands, and natural areas throughout the region.

OUR VISION

By 2025
The Bay Area’s two million acres of thriving parks, trails, agricultural lands and natural areas sustain our quality of life and provide natural beauty, diverse habitats, native flora and fauna, affordable healthy food and clean air and water.

Every Bay area neighborhood is within walking distance of a park, trail or natural area, and most Bay area parks are reachable by public transit.

Sustainable funding exists to acquire and maintain important lands and provide healthy habitats, recreation and educational opportunities.
