Most ranches in California are family-owned-and-operated with many remaining in the same family for several generations. While children and grandchildren may want to carry on their family's ranching traditions, economic pressures can make it tough to stay in business. At the California Rangeland Trust, we seek to offer viable solutions for our ranching partners to stay in business and preserve the western heritage for generations to come. ...

But one thing all our staff members have in common is a shared love for the... land and the many gifts it provides to us each and every day. Why are you passionate about rangeland conservation?

Working landscapes are home to more than just cattle. Many fish and wildlife species depend on rangelands for their habitat. That is what makes California Rangeland Trust's work so important. #RangelandMatters #RanchingMatters #Wildlife #Conservation

Once a year, a representative of the Rangeland Trust visits our landowners and takes a tour of their conserved properties. Our rangeland stewardship specialist, one of our board members, or a contracted certified rangeland manager will meet the landowners to perform the monitoring. Monitoring encourages communication and a good working relationship with the landowner to prevent any violations of the terms of the conservation agreement and ensures the land is stewarded and pr...otected in perpetuity.
