Mission
The mission of the California Rangeland Trust is to conserve the open space, natural habitat and stewardship provided by California 's ranches.

The California Rangeland Trust is governed entirely by ranchers – men and women who understand the importance and challenges of maintaining working landscapes. The Rangeland Trust works closely with rangeland owners to protect and enhance the environmental and economic benefits that these working landscapes provide. In addition to drawing on the expertise of its Board of Directors, the Rangeland Trust has relationships with advisors from private industry, the University of California , government agencies and other land trusts. Our greatest advantage is that landowners have the confidence that the Rangeland Trust understands their concerns and will work with them to effectively protect and improve the environmental quality of their ranches and the economic stability of their ranching operations.
