Santa Clara County
The Alum Rock Foothills area is located between existing protected lands in northeastern Santa Clara County. The area provides landscape connectivity and serves as a community buffer to adjacent urban areas. The area has valley oak woodlands and contains the upper watershed tributaries of Penitencia Creek, which is important for steelhead trout and the foothill yellow-legged frog. Land conservation in this area would protect the habitat and watershed functions of the area, while providing opportunities for trail connections.
