A Vision of Significant Conservation

The conservation vision on Tejon Ranch is a partnership between Tejon Ranch Company, the nation’s largest and most respected environmental resource organizations, the State of California, and the people of California. Through the approval of various bond measures over the years, California voters have clearly said that the protection of California’s natural heritage is a high priority for them. Both the location and size of Tejon Ranch have made it one of the most sought–after conservation properties in the state. This partnership provides a historic opportunity to make that priority a reality by conserving up to 240,000 acres of some of the most significant and ecologically important land in the state.

Conservation activities will be carried out by the independent Tejon Ranch Conservancy, which will work with Tejon Ranch Company to oversee all conserved lands and promote long–term, science–based stewardship of the land and provide for public enjoyment through educational programs and public access.

A primary goal of this conservation partnership is to have docent–led tours of sensitive habitat. Also, a realigned Pacific Crest Trail traveling 37 miles through the heart of the Ranch, and a new state park are other examples of future public access opportunities.
