Audrey's Way: A Brushstroke on the Land
© 2011 Office of Cheryl BartonWe're excited to share these new working plans-in-progress of Audrey's Way, the commemorative site along Skyline Ridge
that will honor former POST president Audrey C. Rust and her many land-saving accomplishments. Earlier this year, POST transferred the land at the site to the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) for inclusion in Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. This stunning spot will serve as an easy public-access point to surrounding lands, including POST-protected Mindego Hill.
The grassy knoll along Alpine Road, just west of the intersection with Skyline Boulevard, will feature a low-profile lookout point and gathering spot in harmony with the natural setting. An adjacent staging area will accommodate visitors, and connecting pathways will lead to trails venturing farther into Russian Ridge and other preserves.
POST, working in partnership with MROSD, has committed to covering all the costs associated with design, planning, permitting and construction of the Audrey's Way site and staging area. To assist our public agency partner, we're also raising money toward ongoing maintenance. We've established the Audrey's Way Fund to cover all these expenses, and we need your help! To date, we have raised nearly $1 million toward our goal of $1.5 million, the estimated cost of the entire project.
If you'd like to take part in this lasting tribute to Audrey, create a beautiful new destination for outdoor recreation, and accelerate opening up Mindego Hill to public access, please contact Anne Trela, Vice President for Advancement, at (650) 854-7696 x337 or at atrela at openspacetrust.org. Thank you!
