  • Conclusions and Recommendations
    CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SWEENEY RIDGE THE ROLE OF PORTOLÀ The “Historical Significance of the Discovery of San Francisco Bay” chapter of the Sweeney Ridge section of this study makes the case that Gaspar de Portolá’s discovery of the San Francisco Bay was one of the most important events of California and, in- deed, western history. The find became a central consideration among the Spanish as they began colonization of Alta California. It marked the beginning of the end for the hegemony of the native Californians, who had been here, inhabiting the land without interference, for thousands of years. When one considers the meaningful efforts the National Park Service has expended on the Anza Trail, it becomes a question - - why hasn’t Portolá received this kind of attention? Portolá was first to enter Alta California by land. His expedition resulted in the initiation of the Spanish settlement here. Anza’s exploration was certainly as amazing, considering the hardships of his overland journeys. His trail blazing tried to link Alta California with New Spain. In his second expedition, he took with him the original settlers destined for San Francisco. However, within five years his Anza Trail was closed by the Yuma Indians. Portolá not only already discovered the San Francisco Bay but had additionally helped the Franciscans establish the San Diego and Monterey missions. It seems that his legacy should be as much understood as Anza’s. At Sweeney Ridge the National Park Service possesses the very spot at which the mo- mentous discovery was made. While surrounded by urban growth, the Ridge remains open space and available for a variety of interpretive projects.

She was my second celebrity encounter since moving back to Northern California last year, the first being a certain celebrity chef cutting me off on Highway 12. I later learned that Ms. Hedren’s appearance is an annual tradition, and that some of the money she makes from it goes to support her extensive charity work. Though I’ve never seen the film in its entirety, I learned the story through multiple trips to the restaurant and the Saint Teresa of Avila Church in Bodega. Even I, who spent the majority of my life in Middle Tennessee, feel local pride knowing these beautiful places are immortalized in such a loved and influential film.

Strategic Plan (SP) reference provided where applicable: LCP Program Status – North Central District (SP Goal 4) LCP Program The North Central Coast district stretches from the north end of Sonoma County at the Gualala River to the San Mateo/Santa Cruz County border near Año Nuevo State Reserve in the south, approximately 258 miles of coastline. It encompasses three offshore National Marine Sanctuaries (Gulf of Farallones, Cordell Bank, and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuaries). The district has four coastal counties (Sonoma, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo) and four incorporated cities (San Francisco, Daly City, Pacifica, and Half Moon Bay), each with certified LCPs. There are also two major harbors (at Pillar Point in San Mateo County and Bodega Bay in Sonoma County), two public entities with Public Works Plans (the San Mateo County Resource Conservation District and the Montara Water and Sanitary District), and one with a coastal long range development plan (University of California’s Bodega Marine facility). The North Central coastal zone is diverse, with rugged Sonoma and Marin County coastlines to the north giving way at the Golden Gate Bridge to more urban areas of San Francisco, Daly City, and Pacifica, and even through to Half Moon Bay, then transitioning to more rural landscapes all the way to the Santa Cruz County border and beyond.
