  • General Plan Page 1 Adopted April 26, 2007
    Adopted April 26, 2007 Conservation Element INTRODUCTION 300. Residents of Los Altos Hills are committed to protecting the creeks and rolling hills, the oak woodlands and chaparral that characterize the community and create one of California’s signature landscapes. Maintaining the Town’s character and quality of life depends upon the wise management and use of the natural environment and other unique resources. 301. The Conservation Element addresses the protection and management of natural resources in the Los Altos Hills planning area. It also addresses the conservation of other unique community resources such as historic sites. The element identifies important resources, defines conservation policy, and outlines programs for implementation. 302. This is one of seven elements mandated by the state. It satisfies state requirements for a Conservation Element by including policies pertaining to the following subjects: • Creeks and riparian areas • Trees and plants • Wildlife species and habitat • Air quality • Water resources • Soil resources • Mineral resources • Energy conservation Shaw Robert • Waste reduction and recycling Byrne Preserve in the Spring • Historic sites and structures • Environmental integrity For convenience these resources are addressed in separate sections, but their interrelationships should be recognized and cherished as part of the area’s ecosystem. 303. The Conservation Element is closely related to other elements, including the Land Use Element, the Open Space and Recreation Element, and the Pathway Element. The preservation and use of open space is addressed in the Open Space and Recreation Element. Natural hazards are addressed in the Safety Element. 304. The Conservation Element provides a framework for the conservation and use of natural and historic resources.

  • Hv Strategic Plan 2017.Pdf
    20/20 Vision STRATEGIC PLAN 2017-2020 Inspiring a just and sustainable future through our programs, land, and legacy Dear Friends and Supporters idden Villa’s friends, visitors, and campers continue to be foremost in our thoughts as we plan for our future. Each new strategic plan inspires us to share the knowledge and wonder of HHidden Villa with those in our community and beyond, including many who could not afford to visit without “scholarships.” Generous support from our community contributes about half of our annual operating revenue. Hidden Villa earns the other half from program fees and other sources of income. During the past year, our staff studied best business practices before embarking on this strategic planning cycle, so that we may better satisfy the desires and needs of the communities we serve. Kudos to our staff for their extra effort! In this new strategic plan, we remain true to the values and ideals modeled by our founders, Frank and Josephine Duveneck, striving to fulfill Hidden Villa’s mission “to inspire a just and sustainable future through our programs, land and legacy.” For nearly a century, Hidden Villa has been part of our local community; we are committed to seeing it thrive for another hundred years. This strategic plan calls for us to support teachers in exploration of hands-on science, develop strategies to increase awareness of Hidden Villa, enhance our intern program, invest in our new Visitors Services program, better protect our watershed, and develop property management tools. As trustees, we’re inspired by the extraordinary generosity of the Duvenecks’ gift of Hidden Villa to the community and by their commitment to inclusion, fairness and justice.
