From an equity and environmental justice perspective, the Bay to Sea Trail Feasibility Study can play a role centering the voices of historically marginalized communities and groups most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and lack of access to nature and open space. The project will include:
The land where the Bay to Sea Trail is located has been home to many distinct communities of Native people since time immemorial. Bay to Sea Trail partners works to conserve and care for these lands — the ancestral territory of at least two contemporary Indigenous communities: the Ramaytush Ohlone and Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. They have survived centuries of oppression and displacement, and are the past, present, and future caretakers of this land.
