Mission Statement

       This project is dedicated to telling the hidden story of Marincello, a proposed housing development that would have forever altered the character of the Marin Headlands. Marin residents of the 1960's fought to preserve the Headlands, a fight which they eventually won, resulting in the Headlands earning protected National Park Status. The Marincello Project aims to install 6 non-intrusive posts at six key points on the headlands trails, outlining the borders of the would-be development. Each post contains a QR code that, when scanned, links the hiker to a website that tells the story of Marincello. These posts are unobtrusive and designed to blend into the natural surroundings of the Golden Gate. We only seek a temporary permit to put up these posts to spread awareness and tell the story of the Marin residents who saved this land for all of us to enjoy.
