Santa Clara Open Space Protection Initiative
Project Summary
We are launching a critical petition initiative in Santa Clara County to protect our remaining open space and preserve the region’s historic oak trees from unchecked development. This measure aims to safeguard natural habitats, wildlife corridors, and scenic landscapes by requiring voter approval for any large-scale rezoning that threatens these vital environmental assets.
In a county known for its commitment to sustainability, this initiative empowers residents to take a direct stand for environmental protection and responsible land use. By placing this measure on the ballot, we give the people—not developers—the final say in preserving what makes Santa Clara beautiful and livable.
Our team is preparing to mobilize in the field to collect the signatures needed to qualify this initiative for the ballot. Together, we can ensure future generations inherit the clean air, green space, and natural heritage that define our community.
