Last fall, the community came together and convinced the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen) to keep Bear Creek Stables OPEN! FBCS was selected to operate the stables and to add equine-based programs for a wide range of people. With your help, FBCS will offer programs for the next generation of equestrians. Schoolchildren, young adults, veterans, and those of varying abilities will get to experience horses in the setting of Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. Midpen will make a $6 million investment in infrastructure improvements, but first Friends of Bear Creek Stables, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, must raise $250,000 of operating capital to begin offering programs. They are over 80% of the way to their goal. |
