Recently, as reported in The Cambrian, our citizens have lost access to a system of forest trails that connect the neighborhoods of Pine Knolls, Happy Hill and Leimert with Bridge Street and both the East and West Villages of Cambria.

Neighbors of Open Space (NOOS) has been formed with the goal of regaining access to the above-mentioned trails. In the near future, NOOS will be meeting with Supervisor Gibson and a representative of the Nature Conservancy to discuss the issue. The more people who express interest and/or concern regarding this situation, the better chance we have of accomplishing our goal.

If you would like to lend your support for this cause, please visit the link below to sign the online petition. Be advised that petitioners have the option of keeping their name “hidden.” This is important for people who want to support, but would rather remain anonymous.

Also, feel free to forward the petition to anyone you think might care about restoring access to the trails: http://www.gopetition.com /petitions/regain-access -to-cambria-trails.html  .
