Berkeley Path Wanders Association
will present “Two Rings Around
the Bay,” an illustrated lecture
on the San Francisco Bay Trail and
the Bay Area Ridge Trail at its annual
meeting, Thursday, Sept. 20, at the
historic Berkeley Hillside Club.
Berkeley monologist Josh
Kornbluth will emcee the event, which begins
at 7 p.m. and is free and open to
the public.
The featured guest speaker will
be Bill Long, chairman of the Bay
Area Ridge Trail Council and a member
of the Bay Trail board of directors.
Long will trace the evolution of
the two, multi-use trails, each of
which now extends 300 miles. They
pass through urban as well as remote
natural areas and represent the cooperative
efforts of volunteer activists, nonprofit
organizations, and public agencies
at all levels. Many beautiful natural
spaces have been protected and preserved
thanks to these collaborations.
