New (Old) Threats to Coyote Valley (Yup - we need your help again…)
Over 200 species of birds have been recorded in Coyote Valley. The valley is an important bird migration stopover, a treasured open space. One day, we hope to see wetlands and agricultural landscapes regenerate the rich habitats for birds and wildlife of the valley. Yet once again, development of vast warehouses is threatening this precious region!
We need your help to email the San Jose City Council and ask them to finally protect Coyote Valley by approving the staff recommendations on Coyote Valley General Plan Amendments. The decision is expected to be considered by the San Jose City Council on November 16.

Subject: November 16th Agenda: Please Protect Coyote Valley!
Dear Mayor Liccardo and Council Members,
My name is ___ and I am a resident/community member of San Jose. Coyote Valley is a treasure to our community. It is important to keep the Valleys agricultural landscapes and open space and allow the valley to protect our heritage, our hydrology, and the 200 species of birds that have been seen there. To keep San Jose resilient and thriving, please protect Coyote Valley!
Please approve the staff recommendations on the Coyote Valley General Plan Amendments to change the land use designations in North Coyote Valley from industrial development to open space and agriculture.
Thank you,
(your name)
