On Friday, July 17, SAMCAR's Young Professionals Network, SAMCAR YPN, gathered volunteers to join the Pacific Beach Coalition (PBC) for a habitat restoration activity in Pacifica on the Rockaway Switchbacks, known as the Lynn Adams Trail. The group was honored to have City of Pacifica Mayor Christine Boles and Councilmember Sue Beckmeyer greet volunteers to start the day and offer gratitude and encouragement for the hands-on work of protecting the ecosystems of the San Mateo County coast.

This activity was supported by a generous contribution from SAMCAR's Community Engagement Fund.
