Overview As the morning mist clears along Hwy. 1, residents who commute daily and first-time travelers experience wonder as the breathtaking views are revealed around the last curve and rocky outcropping that begin the descent into Montara from Devil’s Slide. Mountain cliffs meet crashing waves as vistas of sea and mountains whiz by. Most coastside visitors, blissfully unaware of the efforts to preserve such beauty stretching along the Pacific Coast, lack an identification and understanding of this special area and the flora and fauna it supports. To enjoy and appreciate its stunning views are enough without delving into the past and its legacy.

  • San Mateo County: Recreation Goals, Needs, and Trends; Facilities Inventory
    SAN MATEO COUNTY: RECREATION GOALS, NEEDS, AND TRENDS; FACILITIES INVENTORY BACKGROUND California SCORP (2002) San Mateo County is the 5th most urbanized county in the state at 1,575 people per square mile. San Francisco is the most densely populated at 16,526 people per square mile. The Public Opinions and Attitudes Survey (1997) showed that Californian’s top two recreational activities (in terms of participation) were walking for fitness and fun and visiting museums and historic sites. Picnicking and trail hiking were ranked 7th and 8th, respectively. Camping in developed sites and camping in primitive areas were ranked 13th and 20th (out of 20), respectively. However, when asked if they would increase their participation if good recreational opportunities became available, latent demand for camping in developed sites and trail hiking was extremely high, followed by wildlife viewing. People also showed support for government spending on those same activities. The results of the same survey administered in 2002 showed very similar results. When the participation data are combined with data on latent demand and public support, the top five most important recreational activities were 1) walking for fitness and fun, 2) beach activities, 3) wildlife viewing, 4) driving for pleasure, and 5) trail hiking. California State Parks McNee Ranch State Park contains 2 parking spaces as well as on-street parking, 1 portable restroom, and multi-use trails with 1 bench. Graywhale Cove State Beach contains 40 parking spaces, pedestrian trails, 2 portable restrooms, and 1 concession stand. San Mateo County Parks & Recreation Mid-Coast Recreational Needs Assessment (2002) The Mid-Coast area of San Mateo County encompasses an area of 6.1 square miles to the north of the City of Half Moon Bay.

Sequoia Audubon and the Great Backyard Bird Count 2020 – Jennifer Rycenga, President Monthly Meetings nd How can you help to save our planet? It is a question many of us ask ourselves 2 Thursdays 7:00 pm amidst the despair over extinctions, habitat loss, and climate change. What San Mateo Garden Center 605 Parkside Way, San Mateo can we do that makes a difference? At Sequoia Audubon, we encourage people of all ages and abilities to get April 9 outside and learn about nature. If we immerse ourselves in our environment, we California Center for Natural History grow to love our co-travelers on this living planet: the birds and their habitats. Damon Tighe In this era of computers and smart phones, there is one activity you can easily May 14 do: DOCUMENT what you see in the natural world! Sequoia Audubon has Audubon’s Climate Change Strategies enthusiastically adopted, sponsored, and extended the local impact of citizen- Juan Pablo Galván science (a.k.a. “community science”). We constantly sponsor events where June 11 you can use the power of your knowledge to help scientists track changes in Audubon Conservation Ranching bird populations, or to mark when butterflies start flying, or to note anomalies Matt Allshouse like leucistic individuals or hybrid gulls. Upcoming Field Trips The drive to make a lasting contribution to knowledge motivates Sequoia Audubon’s ongoing participation in events like the Christmas Bird Counts, April BioBlitzes, the City Nature Challenge, and International Migratory Bird Day.
