Defining Our POST

in the Ground

This year POST celebrates 35 years of protecting open space, parks and farmland in and around Silicon Valley. I have been at POST for half that time, experiencing our unique mix of local landscapes and just how important each one is to the character of our area.

Our founders recognized how special that blend is, and over the years POST has been fortunate to learn how your connections to our protected lands are as varied as the lands themselves. Your stories inspire us, and help inspire others who may not yet be familiar with the work we do. The more people are able to experience these areas firsthand, the more people will be moved to join us in saving these lands.

Of all the partnerships POST has nurtured over the past 35 years, the one with you, our donors, has been the most profound. Our shared “POST in the ground” — our stake in the fate of our local lands — is evident throughout this annual report. Without your support we could not have accomplished what we have to date. Every acre preserved is a testament to your support and to the tremendous value you place on the high quality of life in our area.

In the next year we will continue to conserve our redwood forests, expand the protection of local farmland and access to locally grown foods, and reach out to the next generation of land conservation champions. As always, we welcome your input. What are your thoughts and hopes for the work we do? What’s your POST in the ground? I would love to hear from you.

With gratitude,

Walter T. Moore waltermoore@openspacetrust.org

Cowell-Purisima Trail // PAOLO VeSCiA 11

There are many ways to enjoy the open spaces conserved by POST. One way I enjoy doing that is to ride a motor-cycle through the back roads of the Coast Range.

I’ve ridden over almost every road in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I use my interest in riding to introduce these unique landscapes to my riding buddies and those brave souls willing to join me as a passenger. Like me, those who ride with me always marvel at the magnificent vistas, so remarkably pastoral and close to our urban homes and workplaces.

I’ve ridden across the Rockies, the Appalachians, New England, and through Europe. There are many beau-tiful places in the world, but there are very few places with greater plant, animal and climate diversity than the Bay Area. All this coexists with one of the most powerful local economies in the world. We have all of this in close proximity to abundant, accessible natural landscapes. Subjectively, there’s no place like home. Objectively, there’s no place like our home.

This annual report describes one of the financially strongest land trusts in the West, a result of broad support from our many loyal and generous donors. I have heard that the environment is never saved, just in the process of being saved. POST is pushing that process forward locally with new, robust initia-tives to conserve redwood forests and agricultural land. Partnering with fellow private conservation organizations is a priority that leverages our individual strengths and allows our collective

mass to tackle bigger projects than any one of us could do alone. POST aspires to be a thought leader in the land trust community. To that end, we are increasing our investments in resources that will provide science-based solutions to the conservation challenges our region faces.

We are proud of our accomplishments in the year concluded but know there is much more to be done. With your support, POST can continue to play an influential role in preserving the open spaces that make the place where we live so unique.

Thank You,

Brad O’Brien

DAViD hiBBARD 11

Since its inception in March 2011, the Living Landscape Initiative (LLI) — a partnership between POST, the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County, The Nature Conservancy, Save the Redwoods League and Sempervirens Fund — has already made tremendous progress toward preserving and protecting 80,000 acres in and around Silicon Valley over the next 20 years. To date, the partnership has com-pleted 13 projects totaling nearly 10,000 acres. Additional projects are targeting nearly 5,000 acres for protection by the end of 2013.

The LLI is focusing on four areas of concern: Coastal Lands (10,000 acres), the Redwood Heartland (30,000 acres), the Pajaro River Corridor (30,000 acres) and Essential Links (10,000 acres). The collaboration was launched through the Resources Legacy Fund with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foun-dation and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. To attract matching funds from the public and private sectors, the Moore Foundation has put forth a $15 million 3-to-1 challenge grant for land acquisition and stewardship for the first three years of the collaboration.

The purchase of the 8,532-acre CEMEX Redwoods property in December 2011 was the first major project of the initiative and a prime example of how the different groups can work together.

“Partnerships like the LLI are critical to the long-term protection of the remaining land in our area,” said POST President Walter T. Moore. “Our progress bolsters the idea behind this model — that collaboration can produce larger results more quickly as groups leverage each other’s strengths and coordinate to work more efficiently.”

Hot on the heels of a successful photo contest this summer, POST finished production on a series of videos to share the inspiration behind our Heart of the Redwoods Campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise $50 million in funds to preserve 20,000 acres of the last remaining redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

The five short videos give viewers a taste of our magnificent redwood lands and emphasize our campaign’s focus on protecting forests, watersheds, wildlife habitat and places for people to experience and enjoy.

POST Acquires 260-acre South Bay Property

In November POST acquired a 260-acre property in Gilroy. The land was purchased for $2 million with the assistance of a $750,000 grant from the California Coastal Conservancy.

A group of business partners bought the property in 1973 to use for hunting. By 2002 one partner had assumed sole ownership of the land. He learned about POST at a community meeting in 2008 and became interested in permanently protecting the area as open space.

Bordered on three sides by Mt. Madonna County Park, the property contains a mix of grassland, oak woodland and conifer forest. Wildflowers flourish in the higher elevation areas and half a mile of Little Arthur Creek winds its way across the landscape. In addition to its importance as a perennial water- way, the creek is one of the most productive steelhead spawning sites in Santa Clara County.

“We are happy to protect land with such diversity. Not only does it allow us to preserve redwood forest as part of our Heart of the Redwoods campaign, it allows us to contribute to the resurgence of the threatened steelhead trout population,” said POST president Walter T. Moore.

POST will hold on to the land until a public agency partner can be identified for permanent protection.

WHAT’S YOUR POST IN THE GROUND?“Every weekend my father would take us to the San Mateo Coast. You could run and play in both directions — it seemed like you could go forever. There was an area near Gazos Creek where we’d hike about a mile from where we parked and I’d sit on an outcrop of rocks doing homework while my dad fished nearby. He would hardly ever catch anything, but he was from Rotterdam and loved being near the sea.

“I also remember that in those days you played outside until dinnertime, which fostered a real appreciation for outdoors and open space. Even when Steve and I moved to Chicago in 1973, I harbored a great fondness for California’s natural beauty. Shortly after we moved back here in 1994, we began donating to POST.”

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE“I’ve made a point to expose my kids to what was so wonderful for me as a youngster. That kind of connection with nature is important — even more so as our area population increases. I support POST because they have been incredibly creative, efficient and successful in preserving coastline, the Santa Cruz Mountain range and beyond. Human beings need natural backgrounds. I think we could never have enough.”

WHAT’S YOUR POST IN THE GROUND?“A bicycle ride from West Alpine Road to the coast offers unbelievable, awesome views. You see the ocean, Mindego Hill. Whether you ride up or down, it’s a religious experience!” — Don

“Within five minutes of our front door we can be on open land. In no time at all we can hike Windy Hill or take the family camping at Portola Redwoods, Butano or Big Basin Redwoods state parks.” — Suzanne

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE“I grew up in Sunnyvale, and Suzanne grew up on the Monterey Peninsula. We’ve seen how urban sprawl has consumed local areas. We want to prevent that from happening while preserving even more of our distinctive landscapes.” — Don

“We rode a lot through the open country around here without asking who made it possible. My hope is that more people will come to understand why this beautiful land is here, and how organizations like POST work to make it happen.” — Suzanne

WHAT’S YOUR POST IN THE GROUND?“When I moved out here from Minnesota in 1975, the open space idea resonated with me. I could look around and see how quickly things can change — how the space fills in. I’m glad there are organizations like POST to maintain the lifestyle people enjoy out here.

“I see hiking in the open space as a gateway — I’m a real wildlife guy. I once took a community college class in ornithology. The instructor took me to places I’d been before and taught me how to see and identify the birds. A whole new world opened up. It was always there, but I just hadn’t seen it. Once you develop an awareness of plants and animals, it’s different each time you go out. You see old friends in new places. Every plant and every animal has its own unique story.”

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE“In the future there will be continued pressure to develop. I’m thankful for the founders of POST and other open space organizations, who had the foresight to set aside land for our enjoyment. Our responsibility is to provide the same opportunities for the next generation. What I appreciate about POST is that you give money and you see positive results. I feel great as a donor to see my dollars turned into something tangible and lasting.”

WHAT’S YOUR POST IN THE GROUND?“My late husband, Tom Ford, was a developer and a founding Board member of POST. He was passionate about protecting our environment and saving open space, and he was certain these values were essential to the quality of life on the Peninsula. In supporting POST, he joined forces with Ward Paine, the late Mel Lane and others in shaping an organization to turn their vision into reality. Tom was very philanthropic in the community, and I shared his vision. Together we set up the Sand Hill Foundation as the vehicle for this legacy. When he died in 1998, it was natural for me to continue to support POST’s work, including time I spent as a member of the Board of Directors. I’m a runner and am thankful to have such beautiful trails and open space close to my home.”

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE“Maintaining open space is just as essential now as it was 35 years ago. It’s just more of a challenge. We have to be smarter about development and more vigilant about the threats. Fortunately, there is a shared community value here about the need for open spaces close at hand. People won’t tolerate rampant development!”

WHAT’S YOUR POST IN THE GROUND?“What first struck me when I moved out here was the smell — oak, eucalyptus, redwoods. One of the unique things about the San Francisco area is the amount of open space. There’s a clarity of thought that comes from hiking in open spaces. In Chicago or New York you’d drive for hours to find something similar. It’s a gift to have it so near where people live and work.” — Stephen

“Every time I fly back into the Bay Area, I enjoy seeing undeveloped areas. It’s an accomplishment of POST and something I appreciate.” — Kimberly

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE“We have a three-year-old daughter. We want to instill in her a real appreciation for nature. It’s about being part of this planet. I feel gratitude for that. I hope that POST continues to successfully raise money and protect land. Not only is there a value and a comfort in this work, but it leaves a legacy for our generation and generations to come. It enables us to be a small part of something wonderful.” — Kimberly

WHAT’S YOUR POST IN THE GROUND?“We support POST because we have a strong interest in the out-of-doors. We travel to Europe frequently, choosing destinations based on the kind of walking experience offered. We have walked four segments of the Camino de Santiago medieval pilgrimage routes. That’s 2,200 miles! We also love walking and hiking closer to home, and we get out into our nearby parks as often as we can. If you walk, you see a great deal more than you would see any other way.” — Carol

“I belong to the ‘Rambling Wrinklies,’ a hiking group for men of a certain age started by POST donor Dinesh Desai. Each week about eight or so of the 15 members go to a different preserve.” — Ron

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE“I hope one day to see a greater choice of long walks on the Peninsula, where you could go 50 miles without having to walk on the road. I’m very eager to see completion of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. I would also love to see more Skyline-to-the-Sea routes. Until then I’ve set a goal of walking every suburban street between highways 101 and 280 and between Woodside Road and Embarcadero.” — Ron

WHAT’S YOUR POST IN THE GROUND?“POST came into view for me in the late 1990s during the campaign to protect Bair Island. I live in Redwood City, and I was very happy to see those wetlands spared from dense development. It has been a family tradition for three generations to seek out the region’s special places. I love the area the way it is.

“POST is protecting the land in my backyard. I see the results of the organization’s work all around me. As a land volunteer for the stewardship team, I get out onto POST properties regularly. A 30-pound pack seems insignificant compared with the absolutely beautiful views we encounter while eliminating invasive plants.”

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE“I look forward to more protected land as opportunities arise. I am not particular about the kind of land. CEMEX Redwoods in Davenport was a wonderful acquisition by POST and its partners. I also believe it’s essential to save farmland for locally grown food.”

The Good Food Revolution: Growing Healthy Food, People and Communities

MOndAy // February 11Will Allen — son of a sharecropper, former professional basketball player and ex-corporate sales leader — is now CEO of Growing Power, a farm and community food center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He began by teaching people to apply old- fashioned farming principles to vacant city lots and abandoned commercial buildings and has become a leading authority on urban agriculture. Allen promotes the idea that all people should have access to fresh, safe, nutritious food. In 2008 he was named a John D. and Katherine T. McArthur Foundation Fellow and was awarded a “genius grant” — only the second farmer ever to be so honored. He helped launch First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” program and, in 2010, was added to Time magazine’s list of The World’s 100 Most Influential People.

How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth’s Climate

MOndAy // April 8Jeff Goodell is a best-selling author, journalist and contributing editor at Rolling Stone magazine. The New York Times called his book Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America’s Energy Future “a compelling indictment of one of the country’s biggest, most powerful and most antiquated industries.” Goodell is the author of three previous books including the memoir Sunnyvale: The Rise and Fall of a Silicon Valley Family, which was selected as a New York Times Notable Book. Our Story, an account of nine miners trapped in a Pennsylvania coal mine, was a national bestseller. His latest book, How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth’s Climate, received the 2011 Grantham Award of Special Merit for its “groundbreaking contribution to the literature on climate change.”

Time is Running Out —Make Your Year-end Gift to POST Today!

We are lucky to live in a place where the amazing innovations being developed around us can draw inspiration from the natural world outside our door. The soothing sound of waves at the shore, the awesome array of wildflowers in an open field, the bright green tips of springtime foliage or returning row crops are as integral as the air we breathe and the water we drink. These special places still exist in and around Silicon Valley because of your support of POST, which helps preserve our local landscapes.

Help us protect these lands so future generations can experience and enjoy all they have to offer. Make your year-end gift to POST before December 31, 2012, by:
