How will the environmental quality of the Marin Headlands be preserved?
One of the goals of the project is to rehabilitate road and trail infrastructure in a manner that protects resources and improves safety and circulation. Currently, trails, roadways, and parking areas have caused various resource impacts. Some poorly designed or undesignated parking areas take up more space than necessary, and many are located in valuable wetland or riparian resources and habitat, which are further impacted by runoff from roadways and parking areas. In addition, pedestrians take shortcuts to reach destinations without formal trails, contributing to natural resource degradation. To address these issues, the project will reorganize parking to improve safety, alleviate parking congestion, and reduce impacts on natural resources. Also, improved trail connections between park destinations and roadways will help protect environmental and cultural resources. In addition, Project Headlands will remove invasive, non-native vegetation in select locations to provide a higher qual
