CALIFORNIA COASTAL TRAIL: Northern California.
Web series celebrating 40 years of California’s best kept secret returns to KCET 
for Season 3, exploring San Francisco Bay Area, Marin and Sonoma Counties.
KCET, the nation’s largest independent public television station, presents Season 3 of CALIFORNIA COASTAL TRAIL, a robust digital field guide celebrating the California Coastal Trail. California is close to reaching its ambitious goal of building a 1200 mile-long trail, a linear park, along the entire coastline between the Mexican
border and the Oregon state line. Over the course of seven weeks and 6 short films, the web series will provide a comprehensive look at the trails, beaches, coasts and restoration efforts in San Francisco, Marin and Sonoma Counties. Paying tribute to longtime residents, activists and volunteers, the series aims to share the stories and raise awareness of the California Coastal Trail, designed in the aspiration to preserve the ocean and coastline alike.
The new season heads north passing through Marin and Sonoma County, looking at spots along the coast like
Lands End in San Francisco tracing the legendary Sutro Baths and a newly restored wetland habitat on the site of
a former army base at Marin Headlands. We’ll relive California history with a group of schoolchildren at Fort Ross,
a former Russian outpost to supply hunting and whaling efforts in Alaska during the early 1800’s. We’ll celebrate
with the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians as they take back land and trail on the coastline originally inhabited by the
Kashia people. Season 3 concludes with a visit to The Sea Ranch, the iconic architectural experiment by the Bay
Area’s finest 1960’s era designers and landscape architects, now a living sustainable community.
Produced with the support of the California Coastal Commission through the Whale Tail Grants Program.
