Vision

We envision restoring and preserving Edgewood’s ecosystem as an exceptional habitat for native plants and animals, and providing outstanding natural history programs so that visitors of all ages can appreciate, respect, support, and be inspired by Edgewood.

Mission

The Friends of Edgewood Natural Preserve exists to protect and celebrate Edgewood as a unique treasure by promoting exemplary stewardship, and by reaching out with informative public programs.

Values

Our volunteer-driven organization believes in and fosters the values of environmental stewardship:

• Respecting the beauty and diversity of Edgewood’s flora and fauna
• Engaging organizations and communities in preserving and restoring the ecosystem
• Educating ourselves and the public about current ecological science
• Kindling people’s love of nature and inviting their participation and support
• Advocating on behalf of Edgewood

Strategic Priorities

• Restore, preserve, and protect Edgewood’s natural resources
• Inspire stewardship of Edgewood by offering educational and interpretive natural history programs for people of all ages
• Strengthen organizational infrastructure to better support our mission

Strategic Plan

Our Strategic Plan was updated in October 2008.

Background

In July 1993, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors declared Edgewood a Natural Preserve, permanently laying to rest a proposal to build a golf course there. In October of that year, FoE commemorated its inauguration at an Edgewood celebration attended by County Supervisors and other high-ranking County government and community officials.

From those beginnings, the FRIENDS has grown in membership as well as in stature within the community. Numbering some 200 families among its dues-paying members, the organization was granted non-profit corporate status in November 1997.
