Open space preserves are generally kept in a natural condition in order to best protect the environment and wildlife habitat, and are developed with only the amenities needed to provide low-intensity recreation. The diverse ecosystems at the
preserves include redwood, oak and fir forests, chaparral-covered
hillsides, riparian corridors, grasslands, and the shore frontage
along San Francisco Bay. Improvements may include gravel parking areas,
restrooms, signed trails for hiking, bicycling, and equestrian and
dog use, and an occasional picnic table.
