История владения землей: как семья Ковелла передала природный парк Погонип городу Санта-Круз

Walkers stride along the Pogonip Creek Nature Loop as they approach the Prairie Trail at Pogonip in a view from UC Santa Cruz. The UCSC campus and much of the Pogonip land was part of Cowell Ranch that Henry Cowell bought in 1865 for its extensive lime and timber resources. Cowell and his family owned the Pogonip portion until 1989 when Cowell’s last remaining child, Harry Cowell, sold it to the city of Santa Cruz. Besides Cowell College on the UCSC campus, the Cowell family name can be found on Cowell Beach next to the Boardwalk and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in Felton. All these public uses were made possible due to land sold and gifted to the public by the Cowell family and the S.H. Cowell Foundation. Pogonip became part of the Santa Cruz City Greenbelt in 1979 and boasts an 11.5-mile trail system that includes a multi-use trail open to hikers, bicyclists and equestrians.
