KEEPING OUR STORIES ALIVE

The land holds stories—stories of resilience, wisdom, and the delicate balance of humans and nature. When we conserve this land, we protect these stories, allowing future generations to experience and learn from them.

By safeguarding our landscapes, we give our children and grandchildren a chance to connect with the same beauty, history, and heritage that have helped to shape us. Every acre preserved is part of a story that is safeguarded for posterity.

And you have helped preserve 400,000 acres of rangeland across California!

The land is home to families, and each family has a story to share. When you give to help conserve California’s ranchlands, you are keeping alive the roots that connect our history to our present and future.

Your giving helps families like the Hansons of the Willow Creek Ranch pass on their story to future generations. Their hard work and determination provides the rest of us with the inspiration to fuel our own lives. They are also providing nutrients in our proteins and for the soil, securing valuable wildlife habitat, and creating healthier places to live.

In fact, you have helped 95 ranching families conserve their ranches and protect the priceless stories those lands hold dear.

This is bigger than one ranch or one family. All of us are part of a community, and we rely on one another for a better quality of life. When we work together, something beautiful takes shape. We are all interconnected, bound by the stories that land, people, and history weave together. Collectively, we’re ensuring that they endure and that this legacy of land and life remains for generations to come.

Earlier this year, a nurse thanked Rangeland Trust CEO, Michael Delbar, a rancher, for “feeding us”. We can all thank ranchers and farmers for feeding us, doctors and nurses for keeping us healthy, and dedicated community members for making our world a better place. And we also want to thank you for your role in this community, safeguarding our shared heritage.

Make a gift today to help keep our rangelands intact and thriving, where the stories of the past and the promise of the future can be shared and cherished.
