Our Vision
POST is creating a network of protected lands where people and nature connect and thrive. These lands are preserved forever so present and future generations benefit from the careful balance of rural and urban landscapes that makes our region extraordinary.
Our Impact
We have preserved over 80,000 acres of open space in San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. Explore the map below to discover how the landscapes we protect and care for enhance the lives of residents and visitors, ensure a vibrant future for wildlife and benefit our local economy.
Our Process
Together with a range of dedicated partner organizations, POST has protected more than 80,000 acres using proven methods to successfully conserve land. Once land has been protected, POST’s stewardship team steps in to care for each property before it is transferred to a public agency for permanent management. Our extensive experience coordinating with partners and leveraging funds is key to effectively acquiring and restoring land.
Our Program Areas
Our five program areas allow us to take a holistic approach to sustaining our local ecosystem and span the variety of open space usages in our community: Public Access, Redwoods, Wildlife Linkages, Farmlands and Coyote Valley.
