"Midpen has a braided mission to acquire and preserve a regional greenbelt of open space land in perpetuity, to protect and restore the natural environment, and to provide opportunities for ecologically sensitive public enjoyment and education. On the San Mateo County Coastside, our mission expands to include acquiring and preserving agricultural land of regional significance, to preserve rural character, and to encourage viable agricultural use of land resources."

"When you visit a Midpen preserve, you immediately may notice the differences from other city or county parks that you have visited. There is scenic beauty to absorb and wild landscapes to explore. Parking areas are generally small and amenities typically few and rustic. While visiting, it is important to remember that these public open space lands are being actively managed to protect natural resources, restore native habitats, encourage biodiversity and increase the region's resilience to climate change. By providing opportunities for ecologically sensitive public enjoyment and education, Midpen preserves offer people room to breathe and connections with nature, while giving plants and animals a chance to thrive."

"Whether you're planning to explore Midpen preserves on foot, wheels or hooves, there is a wide range of low impact ways to experience your public open space lands. Twenty-four preserves are open to the public, free-of-charge, from a half-hour before sunrise until a half-hour after sunset. Nearly 250 miles of multiuse trails, ranging from easy access to challenging terrain, are available for walking, hiking, running, horseback riding, mountain biking and on-leash dog walking. We also offer environmental interpretation, docent-led activities and volunteer opportunities. There's even a backpack campground, an educational farm, a historic winery and much more to discover!"

"If you've ever become lost or run out of water, you've learned that being unprepared for a visit to an open space can lead to stressful, even dangerous, situations. The best way to avoid such a situation is to prepare. Plan your day before you leave home and check the weather. Please be sure to download a map, no matter how short you think your visit will be, and bring your phone even if you don't know if you will have service. Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes. Pack a bag with plenty of water, snacks, layers for different weather and sun protection. And always have a trash bag with you so that you leave nothing behind at the end of your visit."
