In 2016, the Presidio Trust celebrated the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act alongside the nation’s preservation community with a sense of reflection, gratitude and forward-looking purpose. We were also pleased to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the National Park Service, and thank our partners for their trailblazing role in preserving American cultural heritage here in California and beyond. Our principal activity for recognizing these milestones was to host the 41st annual California Preservation Foundation conference at the Presidio in April. At the conference we were enormously proud to be recognized by CPF president Kelly Sutherlin McLeod as “perhaps the biggest preservation success story of the 20th century”, praise that would not be possible without the contributions of our partner agencies, tenants and park users.

    Richmond Bay Trail Mid Year 2013 Report 1

    RICHMOND BAY TRAIL MID YEAR 2013 REPORT This 14th Mid Year Report by TRAC, the Trails for Richmond Action Committee, features progress toward closing gaps in Richmond’s Bay Trail. Despite having over 31 miles of Bay Trail in place, 10.8 miles remain to be built as shown on the last page of this report. Closing Gaps in the Ferry Point Loop The 4.4-mile Ferry Point Loop encircling Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline is one of the most scenic and historic recreational sections of the San Francisco Bay Trail. Shipyard 3 Trail to Ferry Point: Richmond’s W.R. Forde submitted the qualifying low bid for this project. Two new trail sections should be completed this fall. One is a 0.27-mile trail between Shipyard 3 Trail and Brickyard Cove Rd. creating public access to a scenic stretch of shoreline. The other section is a 0.40-mile gap between the western end of Brickyard Landing condominiums and Dornan Drive. The result will be a continuous Class I hiking and biking trail between Shipyard 3 Trail and Ferry Point. The project is being funded by ABAG Bay Trail Project and East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) Measure WW grants supplemented by Cosco Busan oil spill compensation funds. Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline: EBRPD held a “Walk in the Park” public event on June 8 to obtain ideas for “re-visioning” this splendid park and updating its Land Use Plan. Thanks to acquisition of lands from BNSF railroad in recent years, it will be possible to realign the Bay Trail along the mile-long shoreline between Keller Beach and Ferry Point, i.e.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Marsh Creek Watershed Marsh Creek flows approximately 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo to Suisun Bay in the northern San Francisco Estuary. Its watershed consists of about 100 square miles. The headwaters of Marsh Creek consist of numerous small, intermittent and perennial tributaries within the Black Hills. The creek drains to the northwest before abruptly turning east near Marsh Creek Springs. From Marsh Creek Springs, Marsh Creek flows in an easterly direction entering Marsh Creek Reservoir, constructed in the 1960s. The creek is largely channelized in the lower watershed, and includes a drop structure near the city of Brentwood that appears to be a complete passage barrier. Marsh Creek enters the Big Break area of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta northeast of the city of Oakley. Marsh Creek No salmonids were observed by DFG during an April 1942 visual survey of Marsh Creek at two locations: 0.25 miles upstream from the mouth in a tidal reach, and in close proximity to a bridge four miles east of Byron (Curtis 1942).

    The Morgan's Role out West

    THE MORGAN’S ROLE OUT WEST CELEBRATED AT VAQUERO HERITAGE DAYS 2012 By Brenda L. Tippin Stories of cowboys and the old west have always captivated Americans with their romance. The California vaquero was, in fact, America’s first cowboy and the Morgan horse was the first American breed regularly used by many of these early vaqueros. Renewed interest in the vaquero style of horsemanship in recent years has opened up huge new markets for breeders, trainers, and artisans, and the Morgan horse is stepping up to take his rightful place as an important part of California Vaquero Heritage. THE MORGAN CONNECTION and is becoming more widely recognized as what is known as the The Justin Morgan horse shared similar origins with the horses of “baroque” style horse, along with such breeds as the Andalusian, the Spanish conquistadors, who were the forefathers of the vaquero Lippizan, and Kiger Mustangs, which are all favored as being most traditions. The Conquistador horses, brought in by the Moors, like the horse of the Conquistadors. These breeds have the powerful, carried the blood of the ancient Barb, Arab, and Oriental horses— deep rounded body type; graceful arched necks set upright, coming the same predominant lines which may be found in the pedigree out of the top of the shoulder; and heavy manes and tails similar of Justin Morgan in Volume I of the Morgan Register. In recent to the European paintings of the Baroque period, which resemble years, the old style foundation Morgan has gained in popularity today’s original type Morgans to a remarkable degree.

Welcome to America, where you can see and hear the Spanish language all around you. Look at street signs or on menus. You will probably see Spanish words or names. Listen to the radio or television. It is likely you will hear Spanish being spoken. Since Spanish-speaking people first arrived in North America in the 16th century, the Spanish language has been part of American culture. Some people are being raised in Spanish-speaking homes and communities. Other people are taking classes to learn to speak and read Spanish. As a result, Spanish has become the second most spoken language in the United States. Every day, millions of Americans are speaking Spanish.

    Native Oyster Reef Construction Underway in Richmond San

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Taylor Samuelson [email protected] 510-286-4182 April 19, 2019 Native Oyster Reef Construction Underway in Richmond San Francisco Bay Living Shorelines Project 350 Reef Structures will become habitat for Native Oysters and Pacific Herring Richmond, CA - From April 9-30, 350 oyster reef elements are being placed in nearshore areas to create a living shoreline near Giant Marsh at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline managed by East Bay Regional Park District in the City of Richmond. Eelgrass beds will be planted next to the reefs in the following weeks to create a habitat ideal for the recruitment of native Olympia oysters and other aquatic species. Living shorelines use nature-based infrastructure to create shoreline buffers that reduce the impacts from sea level rise and erosion, while creating habitat for fish and wildlife. Though a relatively new climate adaptation technique, living shorelines are proving to be an effective approach to protecting coastal resources and shoreline communities. The Giant Marsh project is one of a small number of living shoreline trial projects taking place in the San Francisco Bay, but is the only one that connects the submerged underwater habitats with adjacent wetlands and upland ecotone plant communities. This innovative demonstration project is testing a combined living shorelines approach with habitat elements at different tidal elevations at the same site, with a goal of encouraging other cities and partners to undertake this kind of climate adaptation habitat restoration project at additional sites in the bay. The multi-habitat project at Giant Marsh builds on lessons learned from the Coastal Conservancy’s living shoreline project constructed directly across the bay in San Rafael in 2012, which included the construction of oyster reefs and eelgrass beds.
