FROG POND

View of the Frog Pond from Indian Crossing - next to Corte Madera School. The tree has since been cut down to make a better environment for the frogs. The aim was to cut grasses and vegetation so that native grasses are not crowded out by other grasses.
Save the Frog Pond
The Town Council has agreed that building townhouses near the Frog Pond would not be a good idea, given input from town residents.
The next step is to get legal protection for a wildlife and scenic corridor that includes the Frog Pond site and goes from the Hawthorns property on Alpine Road, which is now part of the Windy HIll Open Space to the Frog Pond. This includes the trail alongside Alpine Road opposite Roberts market and the trail alongside Alpine Road that passes Portola Valley Ranch and Corte Madera School.

What the view could look like with buildings - thankfully at a town meeting the council decided the land was not suitable for building after hearing from town residents.
