S Best Beaches South of San Francisco
California’s Best Beaches South of San Francisco Author’s Note: This article “California’s Best Beaches South of San Francisco” is one of 30 chapters in my book/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebook in Chinese. Several of my books on California can be seen on myAmazon Author Page. See also my companion article “California’s Best Beaches North of San Francisco.” By Lee Foster If headed south from San Francisco on CA Highway 1, which are the loveliest beaches at which to linger? Here are my suggestions: Montara Beach, 10 miles south Montara Beach offers a classic beach experience and is my favorite in this region. You park on a bluff overlooking the south end of the beach. Stretching in front of you are a couple miles of sand, going north. The lookout is inviting. The beach is wide and welcoming. The surf is crashing. In the hours before sunset a golden glow from the west settles on the beach and cliffs behind it. Gingerly descend the stairs to the beach. The stairs get wiped out from time to time by storms. But then they get rebuilt. Walk north along the beach. Admire the thunderous surf. Gulp in the fresh air. Accept the glow of the sun from the west. Indulge in a near-wilderness experience, yet very close to San Francisco. A very few other people will be frolicking on the beach, perhaps with their dogs fetching sticks in the surf. -

Pitch Canker Kills Pines, Spreads to New Species and Regions
Pitch canker kills pines, Page 1 of 8 Return to Previous Page Pitch canker kills pines, spreads to new species and regions Andrew J. Storer o Thomas R. Gordon o Paul L. Dallara o David L. Wood California Agriculture, Vol. 48, No. 6, pages 9-13 The host and geographic range of the pitch canker pathogen has greatly increased since it was first discovered in California in 1986. Most significantly, it now affects many pine species, including native stands of Monterey pine, and has made a transgeneric jump to Douglas fir. Isolated occurrences of the disease have been found as far north as Mendocino County. Insects are strongly implicated as vectors of the pathogen, and long term management appears to be dependent on the development of resistant tree varieties. In infested regions, the planting of Monterey pine and other pine tree species should be undertaken with caution. Pitch canker disease was first identified in California at New Brighton State Beach, Santa Cruz County, in 1986. By the beginning of 1992, it was recorded as far north as San Francisco and as far south as San Diego County. Most records were from Monterey pine, but occasional infections of bishop, Coulter, Italian stone, Aleppo, ponderosa and Canary Island pine were reported. The most extensive infestations were in Santa Cruz and southern Alameda counties. In Southern California, with the exception of an isolated infestation in Santa Barbara County, only Monterey pine Christmas tree plantations were affected. Pitch canker disease, caused by the fungus Fusarium subglutinans f. sp. pini, is characterized by a resinous exudation on the surface of Trees with advanced pich canker symptoms have significant crown shoots, branches, exposed roots and boles of dieback due to the large number of infested trees. -

CALIFORNIA RECREATIONAL TRAILS PLAN Providing Vision and Direction for California Trails Tahoe Rim Trail Tahoe Rim Trail TahoeTTahhoe RRiRimm TrailTTrail Complete Progress Report 2011 California State Parks Planning Division Statewide Trails Section www.parks.ca.gov/trails/trailsplan Message from the Director Th e ability to exercise and enjoy nature in the outdoors is critical to the physical and mental health of California’s population. Trails and greenways provide the facilities for these activities. Our surveys of Californian’s recreational use patterns over the years have shown that our variety of trails, from narrow back-country trails to spacious paved multi-use facilities, provide experiences that attract more users than any other recreational facility in California. Th e increasing population and desire for trails are increasing pressures on the agencies charged with their planning, maintenance and management. As leaders in the planning and management of all types of trail systems, California State Parks is committed to assisting the state’s recreation providers by complying with its legislative mandate of recording the progress of the California Recreational Trails Plan. During the preparation of this progress report, input was received through surveys, two California Recreational Trails Committee public meetings and a session at the 2011 California Trails and Greenways Conference. Preparation of this progress Above: Director Ruth Coleman report included extensive research into the current status of the 27 California Trail Corridors, determining which of these corridors need administrative, funding or planning assistance. Research and public input regarding the Plan’s twelve Goals and their associated Action Guidelines have identifi ed both encouraging progress and areas where more attention is needed. -

Want to skip Black Friday chaos? You can get free passes to these state parks instead By Kalin Kipling | NOV 5, 2017 California State Parks and Save the Redwoods have joined together to offer an alternative to the Black Friday shopping madness.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY PARKS STRATEGIC PLAN APPENDIX 1 ParkScore® Index for the County of Santa Cruz, California Prepared by the Trust for Public Land November, 2017 As the leading U.S. organization that works to analyze and determine the value of urban parks, The Trust for Public Land has created a methodology to give a general rating of every major U.S. city’s park system through its proprietary program called ParkScore®. Santa Cruz County has a total population of 274,780 in 2017.1 It is located in the mid-coast of California at the north end of the Monterey Bay. The county is 285,522 acres2 making the density a little under 1 person per acre (0.96 people/acre). Of that acreage, 51,776 acres, or 18.1%, of Santa Cruz County are publically accessible parks, parkland, or open space. The county includes four incorporated municipalities. These are the cities of Capitola, Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, and Watsonville (Table 1). Table 1.

Butano State Park Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR March 2008
2 E XISTING C ONDITIONS Photo on reverse: View from Butano ridge Butano State Park Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR March 2008 C HAPTER 2: E XISTING C ONDITIONS 2.1 REGIONAL LAND USE Land use patterns in the Santa Cruz Mountains as well as on the San Mateo and Santa Cruz county coasts have not changed dramatically in the recent past. The general character of land use surrounding Butano SP is a mix of natural lands, coastal terrace and valley agriculture, hillside grazing, timber production, and small residential properties. The community of Pescadero is located approximately 3.5 miles north of the park at the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Pescadero Road. Butano SP shares its southern border with Año Nuevo SP, with Año Nuevo State Natural Reserve (SNR) and Big Basin Redwoods SP in proximity. Pescadero State Beach (SB), Bean Hollow SB, and Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park (SHP) are to the northwest along the coast. Portola Redwoods SP, Pescadero Creek County Park, Michelson Ranch, and several other recreational and open space lands are located north of the park. Large undeveloped Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) properties are located adjacent to the park’s west side. Año Nuevo Point and the Santa Cruz Mountains, viewed from Private ownership around the park generally consists of Pigeon Point. relatively large or very small parcels of land. Large parcels of private forested lands, some in timber production, are located between Butano SP and Big Basin Redwoods SP to the east, and also on the park’s northern border.
