Protecting Open Space Close to Home

POST-protected Tunitas Creek Beach is a hidden gem to the South of Half Moon Bay that due to its secluded and challenging location, has been pretty badly polluted by visitors. Being such a long stretch of beach with a steep cliff at one end and long hike along and creek crossing at the other it makes collecting and removing trash and debris even more difficult. County of San Mateo Parks Department needs all hands on deck for their monthly clean-ups to keep this beach beautiful and its sea life safe and healthy. This is a great opportunity for groups of friends, families, co-workers, school groups, athletes, clubs to come together, have fun and really make a difference!

Join Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST), San Mateo County Parks, and Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks for a fun morning with your children, surrounded by trees and nature at Huddart Park! Knowledgeable staff and volunteers will lead activities tailored for kids ages 2-10, as well as a longer nature walk for older kids and adults of all ages.

Join our Friends at the Santa Clara Valley Water District along with multiple other community organizations for the annual California Coastal Cleanup Day. Choose a creek cleanup site in Santa Clara or San Mateo Counties to volunteer at and help clean our waterways!

Join Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST), the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority and Pathways for Wildlife for a film night and discussion of local efforts to protect and enhance wildlife corridors.
