Already rich in open space, the town of Portola Valley is richer still with the gift today (Nov. 15) to the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District of 79 acres of upland meadows and ridges just south of the intersection of Alpine and Portola roads and just east of the Sweet Springs hiking trail.

The property also includes a summer mansion and related buildings. The Hawthorns, as the property has been known, was the home of the Woods family; Frederick N.

The property will become part of the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve, MROSD spokeswoman Leigh Ann Gessner told the Almanac in a telephone interview.
