He wanted to unite the ridges encircling the Bay Area into one continuous park with a 550-mile Ridge Trail. Ultimately the vision included connecting the Ridge Trail, and the metropolitan center it served, to the Sierra Nevadas.In 1987, the Greenbelt Alliance, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the National Park Service as well as citizen advocates came together to help form the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council. Thanks to their pioneering leadership the Ridge Trail is growing mile by mile.The first Ridge Trail segment was dedicated in May 1989. During the first few years, the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council made rapid progress, dedicating 200 miles of existing trail on public lands by 1995. Today, 390 miles are open and ready to explore, 80% of which is open to bikes and horses. Bit-by-bit continuous sections are being knit together to provide true thru-hike (or bike, or ride!) opportunities. On our Western Ridge we have an 80-mile stretch from northern Marin to Highway 92 and on our Eastern Ridge we have a 43-mile connected stretch from El Sobrante to Union City.At the end of 2019, 380 miles were dedicated. The Council celebrated its 30th anniversary with a Trail Challenge that engaged over 1,775 people. A new Guidebook and new on-line maps were released to help people enjoy the Trail. In 2019, the Council dedicated 4 miles of Ridge Trail in Napa and San Francisco and supported partners in 3 major land acquisitions that will result in more than 8 new RT miles. When complete, the Ridge Trail will extend 550 miles and connect over 75 parks and open space preserves in the 9-county Bay Area. During each year, the Council hosts a number of trail service projects utilizing thousands of hours of volunteer labor of trail work. The Council also hosts a significant number of guided trail outings, with events all around the region helping people connect to, and become stewards for, the Ridge Trail. Typical events include overnight outings and many guided outings along the Trail's future route, on properties not yet open to the public. 712428 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 22 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 23 23 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Lisa Rigby 4155612595 391 Sutter Street 701 San Francisco CA 94108 Janet McBride Exec Director 37.00 0.00 X 123000 0 15703 Eileen Kutnick Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Luana Espaa Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Morris Older Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gregg Sass Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bob Berman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Charlie Bowen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Debbie St Cyr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Harry Englebright Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Fox Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rica Garcia Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Taylor Jang Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Malcolm Jones Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela Kramer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Long Chair Emeritus 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Manchester Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Rhodes Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Beverly Roberts Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bob Siegel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nargis Solis Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tracy Thompson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Zinn Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 123000 15703 1 false false false 0 14358 30000 241914 547287 1445 833559 OSA Bart Gateway 713990 5536 5536 OSA Coyote Valley 713990 15087 15087 Ridge-to-Bridge 713990 30941 30941 51564 1169 1169 0 0 0 0 1393 1393 0 0 0 887685 51564 1169 0 0 0 0 123000 104550 12300 6150 0 431171 329444 16566 85161 8500 6657 443 1400 38325 30014 1996 6315 41541 32532 2164 6845 0 0 14833 14833 0 14750 14750 0 10311 4431 5600 280 0 18099 10285 3019 4795 30260 18588 1124 10548 0 57263 44845 2983 9435 0 0 0 0 0 1957 1533 102 322 14913 11679 777 2457 Trail construction/maintenance 61074 61074 Printing and Publications 29771 15454 61 14256 Postage and Shipping 22648 12197 169 10282 Payroll Service Fees 16583 12987 864 2732 22982 16158 2009 4815 957981 712428 65010 180543 426770 289783 244879 343523 128964 153817 8916 20719 0 0 0 0 29832 47563 23936 19238 3052 4698 0 0 0 0 5103 842413 865206 51232 46221 98100 51232 144321 X 791181 639483 81402 791181 720885 842413 865206 -70296 X false false false X 876950 1042641 1066019 1001101 833559 4820270 0 0 876950 1042641 1066019 1001101 833559 4820270 460295 4359975 45 43 44 1659 1169 2960 0 0 4823230 52957 0.90400 0.87120 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23936 19238 4698 4698 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE TAX PROFESSIONAL.
