The Regional Parks Foundation was proud to sponsor the dedication of the newly restored Pacheco Marsh and Franklin Ridge Expansion, hosted by our partners at @John Muir Land Trust. We joined community members and fellow partners to celebrate the successful restoration of this vibrant wetland, now open to the public with new trails, kayak access, and enhanced flood protection. This project is a powerful example of what’s possible through conservation and community collaboration. Huge thanks to John Muir Land Trust and everyone who helped bring this vision to life. Pacheco Marsh is now open daily. Come explore! (fb)
