Balcerzak Inholding Restoration

the balcerzak inholding on mount diablo

Region Upper Curry Canyon
Habitat Type Oak woodland and knobcone pine forest
Owned By Save Mount Diablo
Description The Balcerzak inholding is one of Mount Diablo State Park's last inholdings—land entirely encircled by the park. When the rain comes, accessing the property can become interesting because of the nuances of clay soils found in the area. Despite its rugged and remote nature, this property is far from undisturbed. By the time Save Mount Diablo acquired the Balcerzak inholding in August of 2023, it had been heavily used for ranching for 40 years.
Project Started 2023
Goal To remove tens of thousands of pounds (or more) of scrap metal and other ranching debris that have accumulated on this land. Fencing will be removed and the land will once again become healthy habitat for Mount Diablo's wildlife.
