There are also proposals for a Milpitas Special Interest Area and a
Valley Oak Research Natural Area.

A Special Interest Area (SIA) designation is primarily for providing
recreational emphasis for areas of special geological, bio-logical, or cultural values where interpretation and public use is encouraged.

A Research Natural Area (RNA) is an ecological unit set aside
primarily for research and education and secondarily for the preservation of biodiversity.
