Why I Became a Sponsor
“Many of the most important decisions affecting our natural environment involve land use decisions made by our local governments. For almost 60 years, Green Foothills and its allies have worked diligently and effectively to assure that local government decisions in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties have protected open space and prevented sprawl.”
