About Us
The mission of the Tejon Ranch Conservancy is to preserve, enhance, and restore the native biodiversity and ecosystem values of the Ranch and Tehachapi Range for the benefit of California’s future generations. The Conservancy will work collaboratively with the Tejon Ranch Company and others to promote the long-term science-based stewardship of the Ranch and to provide for public benefits through educational and public access programs.
The Conservancy was created as part of the Tejon Ranch Conservation and Land Use Agreement, executed on June 17, 2008 by Tejon Ranch Company, Audubon California, Endangered Habitats League, Natural Resources Defense Council, Planning and Conservation League, and Sierra Club. It is overseen by an independent Board of Directors that includes leaders from the environmental community, Tejon Ranch Company and their development partners, academia, business, and government.
We have a number of short-term goals. These include:
- Systematically exploring Tejon Ranch to document and better understand its unique natural resources.
- Using this knowledge and scientific principles to develop sound stewardship practices that maintain, enhance and restore the Ranch’s conservation values.
- Pursue partnerships that advance the Conservancy’s mission and conservation goals for Tejon Ranch and Tehachapi Range.
- Provide public opportunities to learn about, explore and experience first-hand the beauty and diversity of the Ranch.
