Activity 2

Program 2: education & recreation:save mount diablo publishes a newsletter twice a year to educate the public about the area's natural and cultural history. We host many events on and around the mountain to encourage recreation consistent with the protection of natural resources. As we have done in prior years, in 2012 we hosted outdoor recreational events geared to a variety of user groups such as hikers, cyclists, runners, artists and scientists. Events included a long distance trail run, a backpacking/hiking trip, a bike ride, and family hikes. We lead many free guided hikes on our properties and in parks on mount diablo. We produced two new audible diablo trail guides that can be downloaded to any mp3 player or smartphone for free. We also published the second edition of the diablo regional trail map, which shows an additional 10,000 acres of preserved natural lands since it was first published in 2007.
