Protecting: Conservation Lands NetworkThe Conservation Lands Network (CLN) is a regional conservation strategy for the San Francisco Bay Area, with a set of goals and science-based decision making tools that support strategic investments in land protection and stewardship. These tools focus conservation in areas that represent the regions biodiversity and support ecological function across the nearly 5 million acres that comprise the 10 Bay Area counties. Updated in November 2019, CLN 2.0 equips the Bay Area to respond to climate change, connect landscapes, and connect upland and bayland conservation.The CLN was launched in 2005 by the Bay Area Open Space Council and will continue with TOGETHER Bay Area in order to leverage data, tell stories, and make the case for resilient lands.
Protecting: Protected Areas DatabaseWe have collaborated with GreenInfo Network for many years to develop a very detailed GIS database of protected areas in the 9 counties of SF Bay Area, Bay Area Protected Lands Database (BPAD). Each year we update the database with the latest acquisitions and easements and share the data, maps, and a summary of statistics.BPAD is developed in coordination with the California Protected Areas Database and the California Conservation Easement Database.Connecting: Outdoor VoiceWe are building a large and diverse constituency for land conservation. We will deepen the connection between Bay Area park users and the places they love by
engaging them in ways to get involved. And we will strengthen the organizations and agencies that preserve and take care of the Bay Area.Advocacy for Transformational Funding and Policies: The goal of this program is to transform how we as a region create resilient lands and people in the face of climate change while working towards justice and equity.
