The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, currently manages nearly 50,000 acres of land, in 26 open space preserves. The District's purpose is to acquire, permanently protect, and restore lands forming a regional open space greenbelt. The diverse and unparalleled beauty of District preserves is enjoyed by the public 365 days of the year.
