The TV and radio segments honoring the Skyline Gardens[Restoration Project [for winning the Jefferson Award] ran on KPIX Channel 5 TV and KCBS Radio.

Here’s the link to the TV piece (it’s about 2 minutes long): http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/03/08/skyline-garden-project-restores-native-plants-to-east-bay-trail/ We’ve gotten tons of great feedback.

It’s also posted on the Skyline Gardens Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SkylineGardensEBCNPS/ If you are on Facebook, please consider sharing the story on your own timeline – it’s an easy way to get the word out.
