Fairfax advocates secure funds for ‘Wall property’ purchase

Fairfax open space advocates have raised enough money to complete the purchase of the 100-acre tract known as the “Wall property.”

The town has been collaborating with the county and the Marin Open Space Trust (MOST) to acquire the tract, which is north of downtown and offers sweeping views of Mount Tamalpais. It is a popular location for wildlife, hikers and dog walkers.
