San Vicente Redwoods is an emerging 8,500 acres (34 km2) mixed-use open space in Davenport, California.[1] It is the largest privately owned parcel in Santa Cruz County, California, and one of the largest in California.[2]
Since 2011 the land has been owned and managed by the Living Landscape Initiative, a consortium of local and national conservation groups, including the Peninsula Open Space Trust, the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County, The Nature Conservancy, the Save the Redwoods League and the Sempervirens Fund.[3] The $30 million purchase from Cemex was supported in part by the Packard and Moore Foundations.[2] The new name of the park stems from the San Vicente Creek which flows through the main portion of the park.[1] A small exclave of the parcel straddles Laguna Creek to the east.
