Assisted by Trust for Public Land and Tiburon Open Space, the owners of the Martha Property have agreed to a purchase option of those magnificent acres above Tiburon! We extend our sincere thanks to the Reed family for this commitment to conservation. Among other things, this means that, when the transaction is completed, our collective dream will have come true: Martha will be open to all and forever!
While this gem may be located in Tiburon, when linked with the adjacent Old St Hilary’s open space and that of the Romberg Center preserve to the north and east, a new, vast open space will be created, adding 110 diverse and protected acres with world-class views and but minutes from one of the most exciting cities in the world. (see map below).
At last.
It has taken decades, yes, but there is still work to do. Funds will need to be generated from multiple sources, including a successful bond measure this Fall, a share of Measure A funds, and corporate and private donations. You’ll be hearing more about this soon. As ever, we will ask for your support and enthusiasm.
We are delighted beyond measure. Stay tuned, excited, enthusiastic… the end is in sight!

The beginning is also in sight. You will soon be able to hike along her trails again, watch birds soar high above, appreciate the wildflowers that call her home, gaze out at those unbelievable views, that Bay, that City, and marvel, daydream, and breathe deeply. And smile, knowing that we will happily pass this joy along to those who will follow. What a fine day that will be.
Please look and listen for follow-up news.
Thank you. We are delighted... for all of us!
