The View from Martha in the Springtime by Jocelyn Knight
Hello, again.
It has been too long. Far too long.
Like you, we have struggled to find the health and space we had so taken for granted. We hope that you are doing OK…better than OK, actually. Much better.
Not surprisingly, the promise of an open, accessible Martha Property has given solace during these awful moments. Standing watch above Tiburon and the Bay, she is beautiful, strong, inviting, and now adorned in her lovely shades of green.
It seemed like a good time to get reacquainted. And to remind you that Tiburon Open Space remains committed to buying the Martha property at fair market value. We want to preserve Martha for everyone, forever - just as we led the efforts to purchase Old St Hilary’s Open Space. (She, too, looks wonderful in her wintergreen garb, don’t you think?)
We have learned that the TRUST organization has lost it trails case on appeal. We are terribly disappointed at the court’s ruling. Please know this: It does not in any way deter our efforts to purchase Martha. We remain focused on working with the appraiser and property owner to determine a fair price for Martha. Those efforts are ongoing and encouraging and costly.
If you can, we’d be grateful for any new financial commitments that you could make to assist in those efforts. Very grateful. https://www.tiburonopenspace.org/donate-today
Thank you for your past support. And thank you, in advance, for any you might possibly extend today. We will keep you posted on the progress in our collective efforts to save Martha from development.
More than ever, we need open spaces. We want to save the special one that is just up there, on that hill, right there in our midst.
