The National Park Service and the Golden Gate Parks Conservancy have restored habitat and developed a safe and sustainable trail system at Mori Point, a unit GGNRA in Pacifica, California. This project protects and enhances habitat for the federally endangered San Francisco garter snake and the federally threatened California red-legged frog at Mori Point, and preserves and restores the ecological integrity of Mori Point habitats by reducing threats to native plant communities and natural processes. New safe and sustainable trail system, incorporating the California Coastal Trail, improves park visitors' recreational experience and reduces impact park resources. Further, the project improves hydrologic and habitat connectivity between upland and wetland areas, creates additional San Francisco garter snake foraging habitat, reduces and repairs coastal erosion, restores native plant communities and removes trash, and debris. The project offers a variety of trail experiences to different user groups and meets management objectives to protect and enhance natural resource values and provides public access. Hiker-only designations are in effect on all segments through, or leading to, steep and erosion-prone areas. Multiple-use opportunities (hiking, bicycling, and equestrian uses) are permitted on the California Coastal Trail and its main connector routes.
