A Palo Alto environmental group has acquired 207 acres of land in Coyote Valley for $5.5 million to preserve its scenic and ecological value. The property, formerly a farm, is critical as a wildlife corridor linking the Diablo Range to the Santa Cruz Mountains, home to various species. The decision to protect the area reflects a community choice against commercial development, favoring open space and wildlife. With POST's history of land preservation, discussions about transferring the property to local park agencies are planned, enhancing the region's environmental resources.
"The scenic landscape is an important wildlife corridor between the Diablo Range and the Santa Cruz Mountains for mountain lions, bobcats, deer and other species."
"But the public and elected officials decided to pursue a permanently protected mosaic of lands for wildlife, farming and public open space instead."
