Learn about three projects that the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority (OSA) is currently working on. The Loma Fire burned more than 4,500 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains in September 2016, and half of the fire was on OSA lands. In 2017, Vollmar Natural Lands Consulting completed the first year of a three-year study of habitat and vegetation on the burn site, and Galli Besson will share the goals of the study and the results so far.
Coyote Valley is an important wildlife linkage between the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Diablo Range. Learn about the work that the OSA is doing with partners to conserve this landscape. And finally, Galli will give an update on the resource surveys and management of the Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve.
Galli Basson is a Resource Management Specialist with the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority where she works on advancing the OSA’s natural resource program. She holds a Master’s in Environmental Studies from San Jose State University and a Bachelor’s in Wildlife Conservation Biology from UC Davis.
