There’s no place like the California coast. The Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) is home to 91 miles of precious shoreline used for recreation, learning, and general enjoyment by people and the many living things which populate our varied coastal ecosystems.
The highest tides of the year are royal...
National parks provide a remarkable public commons where people’s health and well-being are nurtured, where protected lands show vulnerability and also resiliency to climate change, where people of all backgrounds can cross paths, where shared experiences with history and culture offer opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and empathy leading toward community resilience and a sense of our shared humanity and connections with our history and the planet.
Parks are valuable, low-cost resources that can counter a growing number of chronic health concerns through the physical and mental health benefits that come from time and activity outdoors.
