Santa Cruz County Land Trust is a non-profit which buys and then protects undeveloped local land.
Other counties, such as Santa Clara County, have a conservation district to acquire lands, but Santa Cruz County does not. California Senate bill SB 211, co-written by Assemblyman Bill Monning and State Senator Joe Simitia (Santa Clara), is an attempt to reduce the effort create such a Open Space district in SCC. Any new district still will require voter approval.
Here is an article in Mid-County Post (Capitola, Aptos) about SB 211.
Here is a Santa Cruz Sentinel article from April 12, 2009. And an FAQ from the Land Trust.
Green Curmudgeon will have more to say on this in the future
