Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Open Space Maintenance and Restoration Program

Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen) developed the Open Space Maintenance and Restoration Program Manual to describe the various routine maintenance, small-scale facility improvements and new low intensity/small footprint facilities, and restoration and enhancement projects conducted by Midpen. Program activities include culvert and bridge maintenance; road and trail drainage feature maintenance; sediment and debris removal; streambank/pond berm stabilization; water supply structure maintenance; pond maintenance; vegetation management (i.e., mowing, brushing, pruning, aquatic herbicide application, conservation grazing, etc.); road and trail maintenance; roadway or trail slip-out/slide repairs; existing building repairs and utility improvements; recreational facility improvements, including new trails/roads and wildlife crossings; conservation grazing infrastructure improvements; aquatic habitat restoration; native vegetation plantings; invasive species removal; and road decommissioning. The Manual provides a comprehensive and consistent approach to conducting Program activities
