Bienvenue Bienvenidos Willkommen!

We welcome a new member to the Open Space Council: Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve!  

From their website: Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve (JRBP) is located near Stanford University's campus in the eastern foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The Preserve encompasses remarkable geologic, topographic, and biotic diversity within its 481 hectares (1,189 acres) and provides a natural laboratory for researchers from all over the world, educational experiences to students and docent-led visitors, and refuge to native plants and animals. 

In addition to Jasper Ridge, we continue to thank our members as they renew their memberships.  You can see the latest on Flickr.  We want to give a special shout-out to the Chair of our Executive Committee:
