About openspace.org

Formed in 1972 by voter initiative, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) is a not-for-profit public agency in the San Francisco Bay Area committed to the following mission:

To acquire and preserve a regional greenbelt of open space land in perpetuity; protect and restore the natural environment; and provide opportunities for ecologically sensitive public enjoyment and education.
Open space lands offer a respite from everyday life, an oasis of nature and fresh air, and an opportunity to experience and learn about the diverse natural environment that contributes to our quality of life in the San Francisco Bay Area. The District works to form a continuous greenbelt of permanently preserved open space by linking its lands with other public parklands. The District also participates in cooperative efforts such as the Bay Trail, Ridge Trail, and Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail, which are regional trail systems in the Bay Area that include District lands.

The District has permanently preserved over 58,000 acres of mountainous, foothill, and bayland open space, creating 26 open space preserves (24 of which are open to the public).
