MILAGRA RIDGE

Quick Facts

Park Stewardship at Milagra Ridge

Surrounded by urban development, Milagra Ridge forms what biologists call an island ecosystem. Here, wildlife is isolated from other habitats, feeding and migration corridors are compromised and exotic species can easily invade native habitat. Despite this isolation, Milagra Ridge holds a surprising number of threatened and endangered species including Mission blue and San Bruno elfin butterflies and the California red-legged frog. Milagra’s proximity to urban development, its limited size, and its rare wildlife make it exceptionally sensitive to human disturbance.

In 1993, the Park Stewardship program was formed and Milagra Ridge was officially adopted as a Stewardship site. Together with the National Park Service, the Park Stewardship program created a comprehensive site management plan with the objective of enhancing the habitat of the Mission blue butterfly and other threatened species. Today, volunteers and park staff continue to protect and restore this beautiful park site.
