Stewardship First
Gilroy Yamato Hot Springs is a historic
geothermal site with deep cultural, ecological, and community significance. This initiative is focused on establishing a thoughtful governance framework before any major operational
or capital decisions are made.
Rather than rushing toward a predetermined outcome, this effort prioritizes long-term stewardship, public benefit, and collaboration with community and public partners.
Why This Matters
Across California, historic natural assets are increasingly at risk—from deferred maintenance, fragmented oversight, or loss of public access. Gilroy Hot Springs represents an opportunity to approach stewardship differently: with care, patience, and long-term public interest as the guiding principle.
Governance & Board Formation
We are currently assembling a founding board to help shape governance, partnerships, and strategic direction before any major operational or capital decisions are made.
