4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Join Midpen staff at Midpen’s administrative office in Los Altos on Wednesday, May 1st from 4 to 7 p.m for our Restoration Open House!

Midpen’s overarching mission has three critical components: preserving open space land, restoring the natural environment and providing for ecologically sensitive public enjoyment and education. A large part of the work Midpen does today centers around the restoration aspect of our mission, yet it is often hard to see. Midpen lands have long histories of various human uses, and our staff are excited to share information and answer questions about how we work to restore the natural functions of grasslands, waterways and forests so that life can continue to thrive in our region. Multiple projects will be featured including: 

  • La Honda Creek Preserve Forest Health Project 
  • Santa Cruz Kangaroo Rat Research and Adaptive Management  
  • Long Ridge Forest Health, Hendrys Creek Restoration, Irish Ridge Restoration and more! 

Drop by anytime, and while you’re there, find out about current paid internships, job openings, volunteer opportunities and the preservation, restoration and public access progress Midpen has made over the last 10 years since voters passed Measure AA.
