In 2025, the California Rangeland Trust continued bringing people together around a shared commitment to California’s working lands. With the support of ranching families, donors, partners, and community members across the state, we reached important milestones, expanded our programs, and strengthened the connections that make conservation possible.
2024 has been an incredible year for the Rangeland Trust! We reached some significant milestones. We took advantage of new opportunities to expand the organization. We reconnected with old friends and built new relationships throughout the state. Most importantly, we helped more ranching families
achieve their dreams of conservation and safeguard the working landscapes that are so important to all of us.
