Save Mount Diablo buys Krane Pond property to shield mountain from ‘missing mile’ dev’t

Save Mount Diablo last week closed escrow on the 6.69-acre Krane Pond property on the slopes of Mount Diablo, permanently protecting it from development. 

The conservation group said in a statement Wednesday that the property is part of the “missing mile,” a square mile of partly unprotected land on Mount Diablo’s north peak.
