John Muir Land Trust secures $4M to preserve Harvey Ranch site in Moraga as open space

The John Muir Land Trust has raised the necessary $4 million to save Harvey Ranch, 126 acres of land in the hills above Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, from development.

The organization said in a statement that thousands of donors contributed to its purchase and that “the property adds an essential buffer that protects one of the most important wildlife refuges in the Bay Area.”
