Why it’s unique: Located five miles north of Springville and nestled among substantial public lands, including Giant Sequoia National Monument and Sequoia National Park, this 1,147-acre ranch includes rolling blue oak woodland, chaparral and the headwaters of Sycamore Creek. Sitting within the Tule River area, this preserve conserves an important corridor of habitat between the foothills and higher elevation streamside areas for rare mammals, like the Pacific fisher and for songbirds like the rare Swainson's thrush and black swift as they migrate between their summer and winter ranges.
SRT purchased this property in 2005. By working with neighbors and the local community, a long-term conservation plan will be developed to include grazing as a management tool while providing for appropriate public access.
