Every year, POST organizes a series of special outings for donors who make annual gifts of $1000+ or have included a gift for POST in their trust or other plans and are part of our Open Space Legacy Society. These popular events take place on POST-protected lands, many of which are not yet open to the public. When you join us for these walks, you’ll see how we’re putting your donation dollars to work. You can also mingle with fellow POST supporters while enjoying a spectacular day out on the land.
If you have questions about the next Walks & Talks, please email Marisa Martin.
Recent Walks & Talks include:
Camp Jones Gulch
A hike through the Valley of the Giants, a majestic old growth redwood forest at Camp Jones Gulch in La Honda.
Blair Ranch
A part of the Rancho Cañada del Oro Open Space Preserve, Blair Ranch looks like a piece of the Old West where cattle graze the hillsides and cowboys work the land.

Alpine Ranch
This 353-acre ranch in La Honda features grasslands, redwoods, and sweeping views of POST-protected Mindego Hill, Cloverdale and Butano Farms.

This secluded 1,065-acre Los Gatos property was almost the site of luxury homes and a golf course before POST and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District stepped in to preserve this redwood forest and wildlife habitat.
