Tuolumne County Ranch Marks 100th Conservation Milestone
A Tuolumne County ranch, owned by the Mackey family since the 1800s, has become the 100th property conserved by the California Rangeland Trust.
The Murphy Ranch, located just outside Sonora, joins 99 other ranches now preserved through voluntary conservation easements with the Rangeland Trust.
The new agreement ensures the 430-acre ranch will remain undeveloped and continue supporting agriculture and wildlife habitat in perpetuity.
- The Rangeland Trust’s partnership with the Mackeys pushes its statewide conservation total to more than 420,000 acres since its founding in 1998.
