This week, our team held a pre-construction kickoff meeting with the City of Half Moon Bay, conducted environmental awareness training led by our project biologist, and completed preconstruction wildlife surveys—checking for nesting birds, woodrat nests, and other important habitat considerations.
Our stewardship team has also been collecting native seed, including the rare Choris’s popcorn flower, bee plant, and soap plant. These seeds will be used to re-wild and restore informal trails across the 50-acre property—helping nature reclaim the areas shaped by years of casual foot traffic.
On Monday, the construction team will begin Phase One: clearing the future parking area, which will serve as the main staging zone (home base) for construction equipment and materials. Our biologist will be on-site again, walking the alignment to ensure all wildlife is protected as work begins. From there, the team will begin construction of the designated gravel trails and parking lots—in tandem with ongoing restoration work throughout the area.
