Acquisition & Stewardship Big + Conservation Outcomes Advocacy & Policy The Bay Area Open Space Council is a unique coalition founded 23 years ago. The Council collaborates with land trusts, public agencies and others to set and execute a conservation vision for the San Francisco Bay Area. We work regionally to protect the land, connect people to the land, and convene efforts to steward parks, trails, and agricultural land.
