Pearson-Arastradero Preserve

Palo Alto's Pearson-Arastradero Preserve is a 622-acre open space preserve in the Palo Alto foothills. Acterra is in the eleventh year of a unique collaborative effort with the City of Palo Alto to act as stewards of the preserve.

Thousands of dedicated volunteers, together with Acterra staff restore habitat, install native plants, remove invasive species, and otherwise work together to increase biodiversity on the Preserve.
