Open Space for All

The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority conserves the natural environment, supports agriculture and connects people to nature, by protecting open spaces, natural areas and working farms and ranches for future generations.

Your Open Space Preserves

Open space preserves are free to visit, open year-round and offer great opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, environmental education and more. Come and discover your open spaces!

What We Do

The Open Space Authority offers nature-based solutions to growth and climate change, protecting open spaces, wildlife habitats, trails, water resources and agricultural lands. We connect people to nature through accessible preserves, free nature events and guided activities, environmental education and a robust Urban Grant program, while engaging communities through volunteer programs, partnerships and more.
