Program Descriptions

80 - PUBLIC ACCESS

The Public Access Program enables the public to reach and enjoy the coast. The Conservancy provides grants to local governments and non-profit organizations to purchase land and easements, and build stairways, pathways, and other access facilities, maximizing public access to and along the coast and around San Francisco Bay consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of private property owners.
