In 2018, the Trust for Public Land (TPL) undertook a massive effort to reimagine San Geronimo Valley’s former 157-acre golf course with new uses that prioritize conservation, habitat and creek restoration, wildlife connections, nature interpretation, passive recreation, and community spaces.
WRT led the preparation of the Vision Framework and the stakeholder/community engagement process. The framework establishes a broad planning foundation to guide future uses of the San Geronimo Commons, with the primary goals to restore its ecological health and resilience, supporting public access including multi-use trails and compatible recreational uses, and making space for a Marin County fire station and community-serving amenities.
Today, thanks to the continued work of Environmental Science Associates, Trout Unlimited, and TPL, a constrained creek is restored to braided channels that support endangered salmon fisheries. The former golf course is now a meadow and host to a healthy upstream food web ecosystem.
