Hundreds gathered on June 27 to celebrate the opening of this stunning preserve and enjoy its 348-acres of heritage valley oaks, rolling hills, oak woodland, serpentine rock outcroppings and native grasslands. Mayor Liccardo and others spoke at the event followed by Valentin Lopez, President of the Amah Mutsun Land Trust, who offered a blessing of the land, after which the crowd gathered while dignitaries cut the ribbon for official opening of the Arrowhead Loop Trail.
In addition to its outstanding recreation opportunities, the Preserve’s many conservation values include its rich cultural history, valuable water resources, farm and ranchland, and a critical wildlife corridor. By preserving this land, we’ve saved a piece of the “Valley of Heart’s Delight” for the enjoyment of future generations.
