We have a vision for the public green spaces in Sausalito. These insights reflect issues that impact the future and may (or may not) translate into an actionable project someday. Our aim is to educate citizens in a concise manner about a complex issue, while presenting Sausalito Beautiful’s perspective or philosophy on the matter.

In fact, the Bay Area has lost thousands of trees over the last few years due to drought and the intensity of these winter storms. So you may think that it’s best not to plant more trees in Sausalito since they risk falling. This couldn’t be further from the truth...
Sausalito Beautiful would like to welcome Sharna Brockett, Mary Foust, Beth Freeman-Rogers, and Bonnie MacGregor as the newest members of our Board of Directors.
Over the next few months you may notice throughout Sausalito a variety of shrubs and trees with round, dark green leaves and 3-5 inches of beautiful blue flowers. Most likely this is Ceanothus, a California native plant, often called California Lilac.
