Saved By Nature's Dock of the Bay project is set to involve 720 individuals from underrepresented communities of color, across all age groups, in 24 exciting excursions along the breathtaking coasts of San Francisco and Monterey Bay. Participants will have the opportunity to partake in a diverse range of activities such as fishing, crabbing, kayaking, camping, boat tours, backpacking, kite flying, and hiking adventures.

This initiative has been carefully designed to bring people of different generations together, enabling them to explore and appreciate the scenic coastal region while empowering them with the necessary skills and confidence to become stewards of the area and engage in restorative practices that foster joy and healing. To make the experience even better, we provide all participants with complimentary snacks and food.

​

The project's name, inspired by Otis Redding's song, reflects the universal theme of discovering beauty in life despite moments of hopelessness and despair.

Trips are scheduled for every third Saturday of the month from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. With hike lengths ranging from 3.5 to 5.5 miles and an easy to moderate level, everyone can enjoy these life-changing experiences.

​

What to Bring:

• Layers + comfortable clothing (check the weather)

• Water Bottle

• Hat and/or sunscreen

• Extra snacks

• An open mind and heart!
