Late Fall Colors at Gazos Creek
David Hibbard, a professional photographer and longtime Bay Area resident, snapped the shots below during a recent visit to Gazos Creek, just south of Pescadero. His photos capture the last of the vibrant coastal fall colors.
Several portions of Gazos Creek are protected by POST as part of the 5,638-acre Cloverdale Coastal Ranch.

Healing Habitat on Cloverdale Coastal Ranches
Jeff Powers, Cloverdale Project ManagerBack in August, I joined a team from Go Native out on Cloverdale Coastal Ranches, one of POST’s largest coastal properties. Go Native, a company focusing on habitat restoration, has helped POST with several projects in the last few years. With their help, we managed to restore an old livestock pond choked by vegetation that had created unhealthy conditions for two species that call this pond home: Endangered San Francisco garter snake and Threatened California red-legged frog. Along with establishing a better habitat for these reptiles, Go Native also repaired the dam on the property.
Here is a before shot of the pond:
