What’s covered

Request to Join

Join us for a field trip to Coyote Valley hosted by the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority. With our partners Peninsula Open Space Trust and Pollination Group, we will explore this landscape in the backyard of Silicon Valley where a Nature Investment Framework is being developed for carbon, water, biodiversity and other measurable benefits that can help companies satisfy sustainability goals locally. We invite participants to provide their perspective on the potential for investment in nature restoration and stewardship here in Coyote Valley and how to scale this model to the greater San Francisco Bay Area and California.
