General Plan
Our Natural Community
"As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but Nature's sources never fail. Like a generous host, she offers er brimming cups in endless variety, served in a grand hall, the sky its ceiling, the mountains its walls, decorated with glorious paintings and enlivened with bands of music ever playing."
     - John Muir - 20th Century Naturalist

Our goal is to be a model for other communities of environmental responsibility, living in balance with our natural setting of coastline, rivers, and hillside ecosystems.
