Green Foothills

Green Foothills is local, vocal, and effective. We protect open space and farmland in San Mateo, Santa Clara, and San Benito Counties through advocacy, education, and grassroots action. Founded in 1962 by citizens who wanted to protect peninsula hillsides from sprawl, today Green Foothills serves as the local champion for the coast, forests, bay, farmland, creeks, hillsides, and parks. Take a look at our most recent newsletters and annual report and our vision for the next 50 years.

Our culture: Our team will tell you that Green Foothills is a great place to work. We put an emphasis on work/life balance and camaraderie.
