  • Altadena Foothills CONSERVATOR Newsletter of the Altadena Foothills Conservancy Number 11 June 2007
    Altadena Foothills www.altadenafoothills.org CONSERVATOR Newsletter of the Altadena Foothills Conservancy Number 11 June 2007 If we don’t protect A New Direction, our foothills now, Same as the Altadena’s glorious Old Direction open space IN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, will disappear. the board members of the Conservancy have done some serious internal work to identify how we can best serve you in preserving land and trails. We believe that in order to do this, we need to hire staff. Project management, whether building a park or buying land, requires a level of commitment and expertise that goes beyond what our volunteers can give on a sustained level over time. We are not the first land trust to discover this, of course. I have read many times that the one characteristic that distinguishes a successful land trust from one that just gets by is full-time staff. And it is urgent that we be successful. If we don’t protect the high priority lands in our conservation plan (http://www.alta denafoothills.org/af_conservationplan.html), within the next five to ten years the Altadena foothills will be built out. The time is now. With land values soaring, property owners are looking to cash in on their long term investments. Developers are in a better situation than they have ever been to pay high land prices and build mansions that will sell for over $1 million in the Altadena foothills. Glendale is pretty much built out, Sierra Madre is fighting over their last tracts of open land, and developers rightly are looking here for their next big project.
