The land includes a 5,000-year-old Ohlone Indian shell mound as well as wetlands and habitat
for two federally listed endangered butterflies, the Mission Blue and the Callippe Silverspot.
The funds came from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Caltrans, the San Francisco Foundation and
the Pajaro Valley Ohlone
Indian Council. The land previously belonged to Myers Development, which had
planned to build on it before a settlement was reached with the Indian tribe
and San Bruno Mountain Watch.
