The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is hosting a book-signing and public outreach event on Saturday, March 2, from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. at Kepler’s Books in Menlo Park, CA.

The event is in celebration of the District’s 40th anniversary and the publication of its new coffee table book titled Room to Breathe: The Wild Heart of the San Francisco Peninsula published by Heyday Books. 


This event is free to the public and includes nature-themed activities and crafts, information about area preserves and outdoor recreation opportunities, and a chance to meet the book’s editor and some of its contributors.



In addition, at 1:30 p.m., Malcolm Margolin, local author and founder and executive director of Heyday Books, will give a brief talk about Room to Breathe and history on the Bay Area.

The District is one of the largest urban regional preserve districts in California with over 60,000 acres and more than 200 miles of trails for hikers, horseback riders, and bicyclists on 26 preserves including the tree-studded skyline of the Santa Cruz Mountains from San Mateo to Los Gatos.

Jennifer, thank you for all your wonderful work on Patch. Life is a journey and you're on yours.Read More It will be an amazing change for you and family. Real estate will definately be cheaper, which is my bigest gripe with rentals in the bay area. I wish you all the happiness you deserve. Linda Allen

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet AmericaRead More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
