Women’s History Month
March is Women's History Month, a time for us to celebrate and honor the accomplishments and contributions of women who have improved and advocated for parks, nature, and the environment. Since the earliest days of the East Bay Regional Park District, women have been a contributing force to its creation and success. The Park District honors the unwavering strength and boundless vision of the women who boldly shape its future.
