You can also find more information about flora and fauna found on District lands through the Natural Resources DataBase (NRDB), a compilation of observations of flora and fauna made at open space and nature preserves and parks in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The database can be searched for available data on plants, mammals, birds and reptiles, amphibians and fish seen at one or more preserves.

The database was designed and implemented by Dennis H. Smith, who also entered and maintains the data. Bill Korbholz adapted the database for Internet use and designed and implemented the web interface.

The database is a "work in progress" as additional sightings are continually being reported. The authors offer the NRDB as a resource for those interested in the species occurring on these preserves, but make no guarantees as to the accuracy or comprehensiveness of this data.

Please Note: Although many of the preserves represented in the NRDB are a part of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, the agency is not affiliated with the NRDB nor is the District responsible for the maintenance, quality, or accuracy of data represented by the NRDB.
