S.F. Chronicle: Shollenberger Named One of Their Five Favorite Urban Outings

The San Francisco Chronicle and the Greenbelt Alliance have teamed up to spotlight the 5 best "Urban Outings" in the Bay Area. Guess who they selected as their #1 location in the North Bay? Yours Truly! The article states that Shollenberger Park is a "wetland and a 2.1-mile levee walk offering views of rolling hills and the Petaluma River"... adding "Bring binoculars; birders have spotted more than 150 species at Shollenberger Park." If we allow an Asphalt Plant to be built directly across the river from Shollenberger Park, do you think any major publication will be spotlighting us as an environmental destination? Please help us stop this proposal from the Dutra Group. This is the wrong plant in the wrong place.
