EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT Vision and Mission Statements Vision The East Bay Regional Park District will preserve a priceless heritage of natural and cultural resources, open space, parks and trails for the future and will set aside park areas for the enjoyment and healthful recreation for generations to come. An environmental ethic guides us in all that we do. Mission The East Bay Regional Park District will achieve the above vision in the following ways: • Provide a diversified system of regional parklands, trails, and parkland-related services that will offer outstanding opportunities for creative use of outdoor time. • Acquire and preserve significant biologic, geologic, scenic, and historic resources within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. • Manage, maintain and restore the parklands so that they retain their important scenic, natural, and cultural values. • Interpret the parklands by focusing educational programs on both the visitor’s relationship to nature, natural processes, ecology, history of the parklands, and the value of natural conditions. • Support the development and retention of well-trained, dedicated, and productive employees. • Improve access to and use of the parks by members of groups that have been underrepresented, such as disabled, economically disadvantaged, and elderly visitors. • Balance environmental concerns and outdoor recreational opportunities within regional parklands. • Provide recreational development that fosters appropriate use of parklands while preserving their remoteness and intrinsic value. • Create quality programs that recognize the cultural diversity represented in the region. • Participate in partnerships with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, volunteers, and the private sector to achieve mutual goals. • Provide leadership to help guide land use decisions of East Bay governments that relate to the District. • Ensure open and inclusive public processes. • Pursue all appropriate activities to ensure the fiscal health of the District. 2006 Adopted Budget Page 1 East Bay Regional Park District Environmental Review & GIS Applications t:\bstone\mxd projects EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT districtwide 8.5x11bwportrait+wards.mxd Bay Point Martinez Wetlands Lone Tree Shoreline Point Antioch San Pablo Bay Shoreline Waterbird # Shoreline 0 Browns -8 Preserve I Island Hw Point Carquinez Strait y 4 Concord Big Break Pinole Sobrante Shoreline Ridge W AARRDD 11 Contra SSIIRRII Wildcat Loma Kennedy Brentwood Canyon 0 8 Miller/ Grove 6 Black Diamond - IR-5ichmond I Knox 80 Mines W AARRDD 77 Delta RRAADDKKEE Point Briones Walnut Creek Access Isabel Tilden Hwy 24 Diablo Brooks Berkeley Foothills MT.
