GREAT NEWS:

THE CORONA HEIGHTS TRAIL IS BEING RENOVATED!

As many will recall there has been much discussion with local police, the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, the district supervisors office and the  Mayors office on the many problems the homeless encampments have had on the north slope of Corona Heights hill. Most will recall a heard of goats being brought in to clear the area and make it less habitable a few years ago.

This called much attention to our great hill and the disrepair and erosion of it's trails.  In 2008 voters passed the 2008 Clean & Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond. There was a great deal of competition for this money as Corona Heights was not the only area in need of attention. However, we did become the recipients of money from the bond to improve the trails and do some work to stop erosion. 

Additional good news is that we have been selected by Volunteers for Outdoor California (V.O.CAL) to work on the north slope of the hill.  And..they are looking for more volunteers. 

PLEASE ATTEND THE COMMUNITY MEETING ON JUNE 23RD @ 6:30 PM @ The Randall Museum to discuss the CORONA HEIGHTS TRAIL restoration project and also to hear from V.O. Cal on how you can get involved as a trail volunteer.
