The private property signs are gone 🌳 The publ The private property signs are gone 🌳 The public now can enjoy a new swath of land with oak woodlands, trails and 360-degree views of the bay on the Tiburon Peninsula. The Old St. Hilary’s Preserve has nearly doubled its size with the county’s acquisition of land, often called the Martha property. Escrow closed Aug. 29, two years after purchase was approved. With advocacy by organizations like Tiburon Open Space and the Trust for Public Land, plus a voter-approved Measure M bond and contributions from residents, state boards, foundations and the municipalities of Tiburon and Belvedere, the Martha property is open. ✍️: Mimi Pinson #marinmagazine #marincounty #tiburon #openspace #trails #nature @tiburonopenspace @trustforpublicland @marincountyparks
