POST Buys Land Near Sierra Azul
- In April, POST took its latest step
in protecting open space along
the Santa Cruz Mountains ridgeline
by purchasing a 153-acre property
in southern Santa Clara County.
Purchased from private owners for
$250,000, the land is adjacent to
Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve
and poised to become a future
addition to the preserve.
- POST purchased the property to
preserve land surrounding Alamitos
Creek above Almaden Reservoir,
keep local wildlife habitat connected,
and make potential future trail linkages
possible between Sierra Azul
OSP, Almaden Quicksilver County
Park, and POST-protected Rancho
Caņada del Oro OSP. With three
other recent projects completed nearby,
including Rancho San Vicente
near Almaden Valley, POST continues
to build on its success in creating
a lasting greenbelt of open land in
southern Santa Clara County.
