The Importance of Open Spaces

Open spaces in the east bay are daily threatened by home builders. Home builders aren’t necessarily bad, but can cause damage if they build the wrong way. The wrong way is destroying the few open spaces we have!

Open spaces are refuges for burrowing owls, ground squirrels, grey squirrels (which need open spaces to thrive,) snakes, and many more native fauna and flora. The open spaces are beautiful, but sometimes people litter. We need to help prevent this. We need to help pick up garbage in these precious open spaces.

So please, do your part. Help protect open spaces.
