Report toOur SupportersPENINSULA OPEN SPACE TRUST WINTER 2003

“We have relatively short lives, and yet by preserving the worldfeWestern WildliCloverdale Coastal RanchMountain lions are a keystone species, whichmeans their health is an indicator of the vitality of theecosystem at large. Although they’re seldom seen, it’sthrilling to think of the big cats on Cloverdale. Theirpresence makes the hills wilder, more alive.Mountain lions need a large uninterrupted rangeto hunt and to ensure their genetic diversity, butdevelopment on rural lots threatens to break up thishabitat. Loss of open space means these magnificentanimals are at risk of being marooned on wooded islandsof protected land crisscrossed by fence lines, residentialroads and estate home construction. As their territoryshrinks, so do their chances of survival.But thanks to the support of POST donors, we’vesucceeded in giving mountain lions and the rest of thePeninsula’s wild creatures — along with all of us — somebreathing room. Since 1977, we’ve protected more than50,000 acres of open space on the Peninsula.PhotographyRobert BueltemanSomewhere hidden in the hills of CloverdaleCoastal Ranch near Pescadero, a mountain lion is roaming.Last spring, animal trackers working with POST stafffound tracks and scat at the ranch, which was a trulyextraordinary discovery for us.Mountain LionNatural resources: The San Mateo Coast is part of the California FloristicProvince, named by Princeton University and Conservation International as among the earth’splaces in most urgent need of protection. Its rich diversity of species and habitat are threatenedwith regional extinction by inappropriate development. If we aren’t successful in our campaignto preserve these lands, our scenic native landscape and its native butterflies, birds and animalscould give way to invasive exotic plants and opportunistic animal species. We must preservethese precious resources to protect the health and diverse beauty of our coastal environment.2 LANDSCAPESDriscoll Ranch

in a condition that is worthy of us, we win a kind of immortality.”Peninsula one of the most biologically diverse placeson earth. San Mateo County has 25 threatened andendangered species, is among 13 counties in the nationthat contain more than half of the nation’s endangeredplant species, and is home to one of the most diversepopulations of birds in the country. Drive from the beachin Pescadero over the hill to Palo Alto and the Bay, andyou’ll pass through every major habitat on the Peninsula.We simply can’t afford to lose any more ground.Geographic isolation and ever-encroaching development doomed the area’s mountain lions in OrangeCounty’s San Joaquin Hills. The last mountain lion theredied in 1990. For the sake of the mountain lions, thelarger ecosystem and for us, we cannot allow that tohappen here.“We have relatively short lives, and yet by preservingthe world in a condition that is worthy of us, we win akind of immortality,” said Dr. Peter Raven, Director ofthe Missouri Botanical Garden and featured speaker atnext year’s Wallace Stegner Lecture Series. “We becomestewards of what the world is.”The stakes are high, but so are the rewards. Inthese challenging times, we depend on the Peninsula’sredwood forests and coastal bluffs for solace and renewal.POST, in turn, depends on your support to help us goon protecting these lands to ensure they will continue tobe a source of inspiration and refuge for all who seek it.William MatthiasThis year, in one of the most significant land giftsever made in San Mateo County, Mike and MargaretO’Neill and their family donated a stunning 482-acreproperty adjacent to Rancho Corral de Tierra. Within 10miles of San Francisco, the property could have been thesite of large estate homes, but instead the land will forman extraordinary connection to local, county and stateparks and trails. What a gift!Through our Saving the Endangered Coastcampaign, we’ve protected 10,610 acres of coastal landto date. That means we are more than halfway towardreaching our 20,000-acre goal. Our ambition is great,but so are the challenges.State demographers say the Bay Area’s populationis growing at 1.3 percent a year. This seemingly modestgrowth rate means the current population of 6.9 millioncould soar to 9 million in the next 20 years. Meanwhile,from 1993 to 2000 the average house built in rural SanMateo County quadrupled in size from 2,500 square feetto 10,000 square feet, further compromising the rurallandscape we are working to protect.The threats of development and loss of open spaceare even more acute when you consider what we stand tolose.

Accomplishments Can you imagine a building the size of a Best Buy storein the middle of a 600-acre open space preserve? Wecouldn’t, and that’s why POST entered a competitivebidding process to protect a 13-acre island of land inPalo Alto’s Arastradero Preserve from inappropriatedevelopment. POST’s purchase gives the city ofPalo Alto an opportunity to permanently protect theentrance to the preserve, enhance an importantrecreation area, safeguard oak woodlands and rollinggrassland habitat, and restore native vegetation. Instead of giving conservationist and retired executivedirector Colburn Wilbur a gold watch, the David andLucile Packard Foundation gave him and the public aplace to “watch” one of the spectacular Californianative landscapes he helped to protect during his23-year tenure. Wilbur’s Watch is a one-mile publictrail and overlook located just east of the Pigeon PointLight Station. From Wilbur’s Watch, visitors can seeAño Nuevo to the south, the annual migration ofThanks to the generosity of POST donors,we accomplished a great deal this past year.County Wicklow in Ireland was Mike O’Neill’sinspiration for naming the spectacular hilltop propertyabove the San Mateo coastal town of El Granada withsweeping views of Pillar Point and south along thecoast. While not the green fields of his native country,this 482-property will stay “green” forever. This year,Mike and Margaret O’Neill and their family giftedthe land to POST to preserve as open space. Theirgenerosity will provide a key link to other protectedlands and create an incredible trail connection fromthe ocean to the peaks of the Santa Cruz Mountains.Robert Buelteman Driscoll RanchViewshed:Driving along scenic Highway 1south of San Francisco is one of the great escapes fromthe pressures of urban life in the Bay Area. The naturalbeauty and recreational opportunities afforded to us bythe rural San Mateo Coast are unparalleled, and essentialto the quality of life we have come to expect living here.Pigeon Point/Whaler’s CoveYet inappropriate development proposed along coastal bluffs andridgelines threatens to destroy the peace and beauty we have come to take for granted.The only thing that lies between the transformation of this pastoral landscape into a SouthernCalifornia checkerboard of large houses is your support of POST’s work to preserve critical lands.4 LANDSCAPES

Construction began on the site this year andwill be open to the public in spring 2004.Sometimes it takes years to reach agreement withlandowners and sometimes it takes years to reachagreement with a public agency. With Rancho Cañadadel Oro, agreement was reached with the Crummerfamily on POST’s purchase in less than an hour.But it’s taken three years and four months to transferthe land to the County of Santa Clara and the SantaClara County Open Space Authority. The 2,428-acreproperty near San Jose was permanently protected asa park and open space preserve this year. The landis home to an array of wildlife including bobcat,mountain lion, California newt, acorn woodpecker,and the threatened California red-legged frog andbay checkerspot butterfly. Its hilltops offer sweepingviews of the Diablo Range, Mt. Hamilton andMt. Umunhum.Even during these difficult economic times, Californiavoters saw the need to protect our health, economyand quality of life by providing funding to preservethe state’s open spaces and natural resources. That’swhy they voted for propositions 40 and 50 in 2002,which designated a total of 6 billion in bond moneyto protect our air, land and water. POST made sure itreceived its fair share of these state funds and secureda total of 41.5 million to protect lands on the SanMateo Coast. The funds will be used to help completethe acquisition of four key coastal properties. POST received 6 million in grants fromCalifornia’s Coastal Conservancy that will partiallyreimburse POST for its acquisition of the 3,681acre Driscoll Ranch near the town of La Honda.The funds will help protect diverse habitat, gloriousviews and, with the adjacent La Honda Open SpacePreserve and Djerassi property, will create nearly 10square miles of permanently protected open space. The Coastal Conservancy and Wildlife ConservationBoard approved grants totaling 15 million tohelp complete the acquisition of the magnificentBolsa Point Ranches — 1,719 acres of grassland,farmland and beachfront adjacent to the PigeonPoint Light Station. Permanent protection of theland halted the sale of 51 lots ready for building.Robert Buelteman Robert BueltemanRancho Corral de TierraWINTER 2003 5

California State Parks has committed 5 millionto Whaler’s Cove, Bolsa Point Ranches, and SanGregorio Farms, which received another 1.5 millionfrom the Coastal Conservancy. The Coastal Conservancy and Wildlife ConservationBoard granted a combined 14 million for the4,262-acre Rancho Corral de Tierra. These fundsare a significant contribution to the permanentprotection of this land, which provides importantwildlife habitat, sweeping views of the Bay Area,and accessible recreation. After acquiring an option to purchase the spectacularRancho Corral de Tierra in 2001, our working capitalallowed POST to take title to the entire property inJanuary after making the last of three payments. Thespectacular property is located just seven miles southof San Francisco and will be open to the public ifPOST is successful in its efforts to transfer the landto the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. On a fog-shrouded day in 2001, POST celebrated theremoval and recycling of a 9-unit motel at Whaler’sCove, located adjacent to the Pigeon Point LightStation in Pescadero. This year, we delighted in therebirth of the natural landscape that had beendestroyed by the development. The natural contoursof the land have been restored to the site, and themulti-year project to restore native plants is underway.Next spring, we are looking forward to beginning thedevelopment of a segment of the Coastal Trail calledMel’s Lane in honor of longtime conservationistand POST founding Board member Mel Lane. Oncecompleted, the area and adjacent beach that werealmost closed to the public will be permanentlyreopened for their enjoyment.Brian O’NeillBrian O’Neill Rancho Corralde TierraWildlife corridors:Segmented development of rural landscapeshas led to the extinction of animal and birdBrewer’s Blackbirds and House Finchspecies that depend on large swaths of landat San Gregorio Farmsand connected habitat areas to live. The mountain lion and eagleare two species affected by habitat loss, but their presence here indicates the health of our lands.If we lose these species, the health of the overall environment will decline. If our campaign to protect landon the San Mateo Coast is successful, we will give the mountain lion and eagle the habitat they need tothrive here, and the health of the ecosystem will be self-sustaining.6 LANDSCAPES

Along Mel’s Lane, nestled in a rolling meadow withviews of the lighthouse, secluded beach cove and sea, andsurrounding open space, will be POST’s “Council Circle,”a place where hikers and visitors can rest and reflect.Significant donations to Saving the Endangered Coast willbe recognized here. To learn more about the CouncilCircle and this donor recognition opportunity, contactPOST’s Vice President Kathryn Morelli.Looking ForwardBrian O’NeillThe end of 2003 brings us to the midpoint in ourSaving the Endangered Coast campaign. To date we havesaved more than half of the 20,000 acres we set out toprotect, and raised nearly three quarters of our 200million goal. The success in the first two years of thecampaign is due to the supporters who have contributedtheir resources to the campaign. Thank you!Yet we cannot reflect on our accomplishmentsduring the first half of the campaign, as significant asthey are, without taking a hard look at the work aheadand the challenges we face in order to complete it.In the coming year we will be actively pursuingthe acquisition of 16 properties for a total of 4,352 acresat an estimated cost of approximately 40 million. Atthe beginning of the campaign, strategy and opportunityenabled us to protect three of the campaign’s key properties:the 4,262-acre Rancho Corral de Tierra, the 3,681-acreDriscoll Ranch and the 1,719-acre Bolsa Point Ranches.Although the lands we’ve targeted for protection in thecoming year will be smaller in size, their importancein terms of their strategic location near other protectedlands and within wildlife and scenic corridors can notbe underestimated.During the first half of the campaign, your contributions were leveraged by state bond money. Now thatthe bond money has been dispersed, we expect publicfunding will play less of a role during the remainder ofthe campaign. This means we will rely on contributionsfrom our supporters, federal and foundation funds,and creative approaches to land deals to maximize ourresources.On the federal front, POST is continuing to workwith national leaders to gain final approval to expand theboundaries of the Golden Gate National Recreation Areato include Rancho Corral de Tierra. While the Senatepassed the legislation last winter, partisan struggles in theHouse have created obstacles to its passage there. Ourstaff and board of directors continues to work to encouragerepresentatives in the House to pass the legislation beforethe end of the year.Once the boundary expansion is approved, we willwork with the Bay Area Congressional delegation to gainapproval from Congress to appropriate 15 millionto fund the transfer. While this federal fundingwill be difficult and time consuming to obtain, itis needed to match the 14 million in state fundingand 1 million in contributions from thousands ofindividual supporters.We will need the help of POSTsupporters to ensure Congressional approval ofthe appropriation. If our efforts are successful,this landmark partnership between individuals,the state and federal governments will ensurethis land is permanently protected and openedto the public.Cloverdale Coastal RanchWINTER 2003 7

The Endangered San Mateo Coast —The San Mateo Coast is home to an incrediblediversity of species, many of them at risk. Species listed asendangered, threatened or of concern on the Peninsulaand San Mateo Coast include the San Francisco gartersnake, California tiger salamander, tidewater goby,California red-legged frog, coho salmon, mission bluebutterfly, San Bruno elfin butterfly, salt marsh harvestmouse, California clapper rail, peregrine falcon, marbledmurrelet, California sea otter, and plants such as theMontara manzanita, the coast wallflower, and the SanMateo tree lupine.All told, there are 25 federally threatened andendangered species in San Mateo County. That’s astaggering figure when you consider the entire state ofAlaska has only 11.It’s no accident that plants and animals here are insuch peril. We’ve pushed them to the edge. The endangeredbay checkerspot butterfly lives on plants native to theserpentine soils found on ridgelines, the same ridgesfavored for development. The marbled murrelet is anendangered sea bird that nests exclusively in old growthredwoods a few miles inland from the coast. Except forpockets in Portola and Big Basin state parks, the birds’habitat is in short supply and the partridge-size birds livea tenuous existence on the coast.anRobert BueltemPigeon Poveint/Whaler’s CoHikers on the Coastal TraRecreational opportunities:ilDan DiVittorioLess than an hour drivefrom one of the largest urban areas in the country lies the potential to create a remarkably vastrecreation area, with unbroken networks of trails stretching for miles from mountain top to seaside.If the campaign to save the endangered coast is successful, we will create trail corridors that connect urbanareas to rural and scenic landscapes. The Bay Ridge Trail will connect to the Coastal Trail, which will stretch northto Oregon and south to Mexico.8 LANDSCAPES

It’s ours to save or lose forever.The statistics of lost habitat are shocking and sad.We’ve lost 99 percent of native grassland, while invasive,non-native annual grasses have increased 8,653 percent.Eighty five percent of coastal redwoods are gone. Eightypercent of coastal wetlands have been converted to urbanor agricultural uses.This cannot go on. Once natural lands are developed,wildlife habitat is severely diminished. The mountain lionis a state-listed special protected mammal. The range ofadult males, which can grow as large as 150 pounds, oftenspans over 100 square miles. Development in rural areascan squeeze the mountain lion into small areas of landwhere human contact is more likely, and where the geneticdiversity of their species and their very survival in a regionis threatened.Restoring wild habitat is nearly impossible and veryexpensive where it can be done. It’s much more effective toprotect what we have left.Being so close to millions of people is part of thewonder of these lands but it’s also what puts them at suchrisk. Without protection, the development that ragesaround us threatens to spill into the remaining forests andcoastal bluffs we’ve come to love. Even with the stalledeconomy, the push to build trophy homes on the ridgetopsof former ranches and in the midst of agricultural fields isalive and well. But just as we have collectively pushed ournative wildlife to the brink, we can bring it back.POST needs your help to protect this incrediblearray of species as well as the refuge these lands provide us.The construction of homes on those sweeping ridgelinesabove Highway 1 won’t just rob us of a once pristine view,it could hasten the demise of species already on the runfrom the footfall of development. It’s our responsibility toprotect and preserve this land. There’s no place quite likeit. Without your support of POST’s work, the ruggedmountains and coast would soon look like everywhere else.Robert BueltemanOpen space needs its defenders. Join POST’s campaignto help keep this incredible place special. In so doing,you will help to preserve this natural beauty forever.What a gift to pass on to future generations.Corral deMontara – RanchoTierraRobert BueltemanRancho Corral deTierraWINTER 2003 9
