  Committee for Green Foothills is working for you! Through grass-roots activism, education, and advocacy, we work to protect and preserve the hills, forests, creeks, wetlands, and coastal lands of the San Francisco Peninsula.

Since 1962, the Committee has played a vital role in protecting much of the open space and natural beauty we now treasure. 

We invite you to learn more about our work, to take action, and to support Committee for Green Foothills so that we can continue to safequard our fragile Peninsula environment for future generations. Join us — we need your help.

Pete speaking at Nature's Inspiration 2009:
Honoring Mary Davey

CGF is honored to host a spectacular afternoon with friends, family, and pure celebration at the lovely home of longtime CGF members,
Nan and Chuck Geschke, in Los Altos. 

The gathering will center on the enduring nature of CGF's advocacy work -past, present, and future- by honoring former Congressman Pete McCloskey, paying tribute to CGF's Advocates through time, and looking to emerging plans for the next generation of CGF Advocacy. 

Pete McCloskey was CGF's first lawyer, fighting against power lines obstructing the viewshed of the foothills.  This early action and Pete's continuous leadership have provided inspiration to CGF over the years and continue to influence the evolving nature of CGF's advocacy work.
