This meeting will be held at La Honda Elementary School - 450 Sears Ranch Road, La Honda, CA

The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Board of Directors adopted a Master Plan for the approximately 5,700-acre La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve in 2012. With Measure AA funding, Midpen is gearing up to open the Preserve to public use. Initial access will be provided by an interim parking area and trails, which are anticipated to open in Fall 2017.

We invite neighbors, interested parties and the La Honda community to hear about the work that is underway to open the Preserve. Information will include an overview of the La Honda Creek Master Plan, plans for the interim parking area and trails, and a schedule for opening other Preserve facilities.

Light refreshments will be provided.
