Greenbelt Alliance is a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit organization founded to help the region handle a climate change. The organization's mission is to protect precious open spaces while focusing equitable, climate-smart growth within existing urban areas. Greenbelt Alliance was founded in 1958 as an organization called Citizens for Regional Recreation and Parks. One of its first campaigns was helping to halt the filling of San Francisco Bay for development. In 1969, the organization was renamed People for Open Space to reflect the organization's additional interest in preserving ranch lands, agricultural lands, and wildlife preserves. In the 1970s, People for Open Space helped to establish a public park district called the Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District (1972), as well as Suisun Marsh (1974). The organization also involved in campaigning for a regional government for the Bay Area, but was defeated in Sacramento by one vote. In 1976, People for Open Space added the goal of establishing a permanent regional greenbelt to its agenda, and in 1984 created a group called Greenbelt Congress to work on open space protection through activism and grassroots organizing.
