Ulistac Natural Area
City of Santa Clara
About the Project
The Open Space Authority funded two phases of improvements for this 40 acres of open space along the Guadalupe River in Santa Clara in 1999 and again in 2004. The projects included trail design and construction as well as removal of exotic plant species, revegetation, irrigation and fence and gate improvements. The natural area now features native vegetation representing a variety of plant communities connected by a series of trails.

"This place is a sanctuary, it brings the community together, both here in Santa Clara County and people from around the world. Everyone comes out there each day to take a walk, smile at their neighbors, and get a momentary escape from their cubicles. We need more places like this.”
