The 6.7-acre Krane property on the north slope of Mount Diablo is being sold from the Krane family to the group Save Mount Diablo, which plans to preserve it.
"So it’s really important for wildlife," said Seth Adams, Conservation Director for Save Mount Diablo."And if we didn’t protect it, not only would it be threatened, but we’d also likely lose this amazing resource for wildlife."
The property is part of what Save Mount Diablo calls its"missing mile," a swath of key properties winding through the north slope of Mount Diablo. With its spring-fed pond, the Krane property was a rare and important gem within the group's targets. "These are not rich people," said Adams, standing on a sloping hill above the family pond."These are middle-class people who, a teacher and an engineer, and they fell in love with this property and ultimately decided to protect it."
