Maintaining Lake Berryessa Viewshed

Running Deer Ranch encompases 1,275 acres of rangeland within the Blue Ridge-Berryessa Natural Area. The easement safeguards approximately 4,000 feet of frontage land along Lake Berryessa.

This easement was funded by U. S. Natural Resources Conservation Service and California Department of Conservation.
