Dear Members, Donors and Friends of MBOSA:
Your Board is tired and needs your help. We have been working on open space projects for a long time, in a couple cases over 5 years. We have decided to close down MBOSA in about one year, after final donations to the Toro Coast Preserve project, unless new blood comes on board to continue the important work we do.
It's time for others to step up to build on our successes. The need to defend and preserve open space is no less now than when we started in 2016. There is a lot to do!
Will you be one of the ones who will devote some time and talent to working on the projects ahead of us? Please let us know!
You can download a PDF with a longer discussion of our decision to put the organization on a glidepath to closure in about one year. In the meantime, we will be here, waiting for you to step up and hoping you will. If you bring new energy to MBOSA, we might be able to continue.
We are all stewards of open space and will continue to be so.
Board of MBOSA

Why it Matters...
I conceive that the land belongs to a vast family of which many are dead, few are living, and countless numbers are still unborn.
