Stevens Canyon RanchPOSTLandscapesPeninsula Open Space Trust

The natural places thatPOST works to savepossess unsurpassed beauty,diverse wildlife and a multitudeof recreational opportunities.But these wild and rurallands also possess a legacy ofhuman interaction with nature,where history reveals itself inunexpected places: a carved-outhollow in a rock where OhloneIndians once ground acornsfor food, a 100 year old orchardjust off the main road withgnarled trees hung heavy withfruit, and a lone old-growthredwood spared from the logger’ssaw a century ago. This is whatyou see at Stevens CanyonRanch, a magnificent 240-acreproperty in the foothills of theSanta Cruz Mountains and partof the California coastal range.The mission of the Peninsula OpenSpace Trust (POST) is to give permanentprotection to the beauty, character anddiversity of the San Francisco Peninsulalandscape for people here now and for futuregenerations. POST encourages the use of theselands for natural resource protection, wildlifehabitat, low-intensity public recreation andagriculture.photo © 2004 Alice CummingsOne of 20 properties thatPOST has enteredinto an agreement onto protect during its Saving theEndangered Coast campaign,Stevens Canyon Ranch bordersthe bank of Stevens Creek inCupertino. It has served as a familyranch since the late 1800s, whenhomesteaders first settled high upin Stevens Canyon, overlookingthe Spanish land grant settlementsin the valley below.The scenic property stillretains the atmosphere of anStevensearlier age. Just past weatheredoutbuildings, an old stone wineryand the family residence lies agently sloping orchard alongsideterraced hillsides where vineyardsonce flourished — all strikingreminders of the Santa ClaraValley’s rich agricultural heritage.Surrounding the orchard andfamily home is a lush and variedlandscape of mixed evergreens,redwoods and meandering creeksthat served as a logging andfur-trapping site for early settlers,and hunting and fishing grounds

Canyon Ranchphoto © 2005 Karl Kroeberfor native tribes.POST purchased this landin December 2004, with generousassistance from the Gordon andBetty Moore Foundation, whichprovided a $5 million granttowards the property’s $6.6. millionpurchase price. “We are pleasedthat the Foundation was able toplay a key role in helping toprotect a portion of the StevensCreek watershed,” said foundationDirector of Evaluation and TrusteeKen Moore.Stevens Canyon Ranch is ahigh priority for conservation.Located in western Santa ClaraValley, where thousands of acresof natural lands are threatened byhigh-end residential development,this ranch was in particularjeopardy. At the time of acquisition,there was another offer on thetable from a Silicon Valley venturecapitalist for $6.6 million. TheRanch’s strategic location, naturalresources, visual beauty and richhistory make it an excellent spotto enhance the network of scenicpreserves and parks in the area.The Ranch is readily accessiblefrom the urban mid-Peninsula andSan Jose, yet it lies at the heart of6,640 acres of public open lands,connecting Upper and LowerStevens Creek county parks. It isadjacent to the Saratoga Gap,Monte Bello and Picchetti RanchOpen Space Preserves, all managedby the Midpeninsula Regional OpenSpace District (MROSD), andlinks to the Bay Area Ridge Trail,the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail andnumerous other preserves andparks along Skyline Boulevard.SUMMER 2005 ■ 3

The property still retains the atmosphere of an earlier age.According to MROSD,one of the oldest and largest oldgrowthredwood trees in SantaClara Valley can be found on theRanch, thriving on the banks of atributary of Stevens Creek. By1900, loggers had cleared thecanyon of timber up toSkyline Boulevard. Loggersspared this massive treebecause it was consideredan imperfect tree and wouldnot have made top qualitylumber. Its towering crownis still visible from severalvantage points along theproperty’s two and a halfmiles of winding trails.For more than acentury, only two familiesowned the property. TheBordis, originally fromFrance, homesteaded theland in the late 1800s.photo © 2004 Robert BueltemanFamily patriarch Bastido Bordipurchased the property in 1881,clearing and cultivating about100 acres. He planted a vineyardand an orchard with pear, appleand plum trees, and started asmall family winery.The original main housestands atop a stone-walled winecellar that continued to operateduring Prohibition, providingwine to dining establishments inMountain View. Some of the oldwine casks are still inside, behindsturdy wooden doors embellishedwith paintings of a pair of dancinggirls — which is said to havesymbolized the location of aspeakeasy in the early 1920s. Theproperty also features a caretaker’scabin and a barn.Longtime neighbor andPOST Board member VinceGarrod worked as a farmhand onthe property inthe early 1950s.“Up in the hills,people wanted tolumber and cut allthe redwoods andbig pines theycould get out,” hesaid. “If there wasany flat, open land,somebody would try to farm it.That’s why the Bordis were there.Otherwise, the rest of the canyonwas too steep and nobody wantedit,” he said.The Jones/GlendenningSaratoga GapOpen Space Preservefamily acquired the propertyfrom the Bordis in the 1950s andcontinued using it as a familyranch. Their descendents updatedthe main home, but the surrounding10 acres of orchards still attestto the agricultural history of thesurrounding Santa ClaraValley, once known as“The Valley of Heart’sDesire.”Ultimately, POSThopes to transfer theproperty to MROSD forlong-term stewardship.“The Glendennings wereone of the originalpioneering families inStevens Canyon RoadSTEVENS CANYONRANCH240 acresSaratoga GapOpen Space Preserve9Stevens Creek County Parkthe valley making their living asfruit ranchers,” said BerniceGlendenning Jones. “We are verypleased that this historic ranchwill be preserved for futuregenerations to enjoy.” ■4 ■ LANDSCAPES

Step-by-Step the Trail Becomes RealityRising between Lobitosand Tunitas creeks, anexpanse of grassy slopes climbsup to a long narrow ridge withbreathtaking views of the PacificOcean, towering redwoodsand rolling hills. This beautiful183-acre property, located fourand a half miles southeast ofHalf Moon Bay, is POST’s latestacquisition in the Saving theEndangered Coast campaign, andis a key component in a potentialSkyline-to-the-Sea trail.Originally part of theCañada de Verde y Arroyo de laPurisima Spanish Land Grantof 1865, the property features lushmeadows, redwood forest,eucalyptus stands and an alder-linedcreek. Irish Ridge, the windsweptdivide between the two creeks,crosses the property at an elevationof about 1,200 feet.The land was previouslyused for logging and hunting.It is now poised to become afuture link in an unbroken trailconnection between Skyline Ridgeand the Pacific Ocean — a majorgoal of POST’s for almost 20 years.POST purchased theland from a private owner for$2.25 million. If POST hadn’tacquired this land, two sprawlingtrophy homes could have beenbuilt on the ridge. Instead, becauseof your support for the campaign,a striking diversity of habitats willcontinue to flourish here. Theterrain includes northern coastalscrub, a mixed redwood andDouglas-fir forest, eucalyptus andMonterey pine plantings and ahalf-mile riparian corridor, whichprovides important steelhead trouthabitat. The upper reaches offerdramatic views of the ocean,Lobitos Ridge, Bald Knob and theLobitos and Tunitas creek valleys.The property is a key linkin a potential network of hikingtrails connecting Purisima CreekRedwoods Open Space Preserve,along Skyline Ridge, all the waydown to Cowell State Beach andthe future California CoastalTrail. This possible trail corridorwould pass through POST’sPurisima Farms and Lobitos Ridgeproperties to South Cowell Ranch,photo © 2005 Dan Quinnwhich is protected by a conservationeasement.The property itself willlikely be incorporated into thePurisima Creek preserve, managedby the Midpeninsula RegionalOpen Space District. Once POSTtransfers the land to publicownership, hikers will one dayenjoy a spectacular walk along theridgeline, with stirring views ofthe ocean and coastal hillsunfolding all around them.This beautiful and scenicproperty presents an excellentopportunity for you to make areal difference through the Savingthe Endangered Coast campaign.POST is currently focused onraising funds to cover the cost ofacquiring this land. A significantgift in support of this purchasewould afford the donor theopportunity to name the propertyor a feature on the property —such as a trail, valley or overlook —for his or her family or thehonoree of their choosing. All whocontribute gifts to the campaignwill demonstrate that individualsare protecting our coastal landsand can make a difference.For more informationon this exceptional namingopportunity, please contact POSTVice President Kathryn Morelli at(650) 854-7696. ■SUMMER 2005 ■ 7

POST TransfersPigeon PointProperties toCalifornia State ParksPigeon Point photos © Robert BueltemanAfter four years of workingwith State Parks, POSTcelebrated the transferof Whaler’s Cove, LighthouseRanch Beach and Bolsa Point Beachto California State Parks onFebruary 16. These propertiescomprise 64 acres of landsurrounding the Pigeon Pointlighthouse and offer some of themost scenic views on the SanMateo Coast. They also provideexcellent public recreationopportunities and rich ecologicalhabitat for wildlife.POST began working toacquire Whaler’s Cove in 1993.The three-acre property was finallypurchased in 2000 as the firstproject in POST’s Saving theEndangered Coast campaign. Atthe time of acquisition, a nine-unitmotel was under constructionon the bluff top directly adjacentto the Pigeon Point lighthouse.By March 2002, POST had“deconstructed” the property by8 ■ LANDSCAPES

emoving the motel and itsfoundation and began restoringthe natural contours of the land.With the permanentprotection of these three properties,a 101/2 mile stretch of uninterruptedopen coastline extends south toAño Nuevo State Preserve.The adjacent waters along thiscoastline are protected by theMonterey Bay National MarineSanctuary and provide habitat toa variety of coastal birds, seamammals, and intertidal marinelife. It is possible to spot sea lions,seals, sea otters, and gray whalesfrom the beaches and bluff tops.Tide pools along the shoreprovide habitat for intertidalcommunities including abalone,starfish, and sea anemone.© 2001 Paul ReimerWith the transfer to StateParks complete, POST is movingahead with the planning andpermitting of a portion of theCalifornia Coastal Trail along thebluff top. This trail will be knownas Mel’s Lane in honor of POSTfounder and conservationist MelLane. A kiosk on the trail willinclude a listing of every donorwho contributes to the historicSaving the Endangered Coastcampaign. The Council Circle,a special donor recognition arearesting just off Mel’s Lane, willpermanently recognize donorswho have made gifts of $100,000or more to the campaign.The transfer of thesecoastal properties is a significantmilestone in the Saving theEndangered Coast campaign.Whaler’s Cove, Lighthouse RanchBeach, and Bolsa Point Beach arethe first of the campaign propertiesto be transferred to a publicagency. The sensitive habitats ofBolsa Point Beach will be protectedforever and a planning process todetermine an approximate timelinefor public access will be initiatedin the near future.

Bob & Jean AnnAugsburgerMake Major Giftto CampaignAs one of POST’s founders and its first executivedirector, Bob Augsburger has a uniqueappreciation for where POST has been andhow far it has come, particularly with respect to itsinvolvement on the San Mateo Coast. He and his wife,Jean Ann, recently demonstrated their ongoingsupport through a Council Circle level gift to ourSaving the Endangered Coast campaign.“While we have always made modest annualgifts to POST to support operations, we have neverseriously considered a major gift, figuring that Bobhad already given at work,” Jean Ann observes with atwinkle in her eye. “However, having led POST over tothe San Mateo Coast, we just couldn’t sit back and notparticipate in this campaign, even though we haveother philanthropic interests. The wonderful workdone by Audrey Rust and her staff and the POSTBoard deserve what support we could give.”The Augsburgers, who have three grown childrenand four grandchildren, now live in the Sequoiascommunity in Portola Valley, literally right next doorto Windy Hill Open Space Preserve, POST’s firstmajor project. “I can walk out my back door and I’m75 feet from Windy Hill,” Bob says. He remains activein the Stanford Historical Society, having served asvice-president for business and finance at Stanfordfrom 1971 to 1977.Bob recalls the circumstances that led POSTto turn its attention to the Coast. Early attempts bycitizen activists to expand the Golden Gate NationalRecreational Area southward along the San MateoCoast in the mid-1970s had met with strenuous localopposition. Although MROSD later incorporated theSkyline Corridor within its boundaries, the Coast wasleft exposed without any funding to protect it fromdevelopment. Recognizing this vacuum, POST beganto focus on this area in the early 1980s. Land ownershipwas mapped, priorities were established, and aprogram to develop relationships with landownerswas undertaken.“In 1986, Tom Ford, who served as treasurer ofPOST, came to me and offered to give $100,000 toPOST for a high risk, entrepreneurial venture,” Bobremembers. “That $100,000 was used to acquire athree-year option to purchase 1,270 acres of coastalproperty owned by the S.H. Cowell Foundationimmediately south of Half Moon Bay. It was a criticalpiece of land and represented an opportunity to see ifwe could cobble together a combination of public andprivate funds to begin a coastal protection program.To do so required a tested, experienced fund-raiser,which I was not. I agreed to step down and recommendedthat the Board hire Audrey Rust, whom I hadinterviewed for the executive director position almostten years earlier.“What Audrey and others have accomplishedsince then has gone far beyond our wildest dreams. JeanAnn and I are delighted that we are able once again tostep up and help save our endangered coast.” ■photo © 2005 Paolo Vescia10 ■ LANDSCAPES

THE Council Circleat whaler’s coveBob and Jean Ann Augsburger are just two ofthe 54 individuals, families and foundations whohave made gifts of $100,000 or more to Saving theEndangered Coast. The names of all these extraordinarydonors will be permanently engraved on the CouncilCircle, a low ring of natural stone benches POST isbuilding at Whaler’s Cove next to a future segment ofthe California Coastal Trail.Many of our donors often shy away from publicrecognition of their gifts in the community. Theygive to POST because they care about saving the naturallands that will determine the quality of life futureresidents of the Bay Area will have, including theirown children and grandchildren.Bill Reller, a POST Board member and campaignvolunteer, was one of the first tomake a Council Circle gift to thecampaign with his family. “We gavebecause we believe in the goals ofpigeon point roadkioskSaving the Endangered Coast,” said Bill. “We also likedthe idea of our grandchildren being able to visit theCouncil Circle one day, take in the natural beautysurrounding them, read our family’s name and think,‘we did this.’” Hikers, schoolchildren, and visitorsto Pigeon Point from all over the world will also be ableto enjoy this inspiring place to reflect on what peoplecan do when they commit their hearts and resourcesto saving land close to home.There will be no other place like the CouncilCircle on the California Coast.
