The vast working landscapes that characterize California’s beauty and support our way of life are at risk. More than a third of California’s 100 million acres of land is rangeland that not only supports livestock, wildlife, and rural communities, but also sequesters carbon and recharges groundwater; and it’s disappearing at an alarming rate. Over the past 10 years, 784 square miles of open landsca

pes – roughly the size of Los Angeles and San Diego combined – were converted to industry and housing. Once developed, these natural landscapes with all their beauty and benefits are gone forever. The California Rangeland Trust is dedicated to safeguarding these rangelands that feed the soul and provide vital resources, ensuring California continues to matter.

This , we’re grateful for the many benefits cattle provide — from the pasture to the plate. 🥩🐂

Cattle help manage our landscapes by grazing on grasses and plants humans can’t eat, removing billions of pounds of dry biomass each year that can reduce wildfire risk and help control invasive weeds.

And on the plate? A 3 oz. serving of beef delivers 10 essential nutrients, including about half your Daily Value of protein.

During and , we celebrate the important role plays in nourishing people and caring for the land, all year long.

Office with a view 🌳💚

It’s always a good day when our work takes us out on California’s rangelands. This photo was taken by our Rangeland Stewardship Manager, Mikie McDonnell, on her annual monitoring of the Creekview Northern Preserve in Placer County.

Ranchers and the cattle they steward are essential to the health of our millions of acres of open spaces and to the resilience of California as a whole.

Managed cattle grazing helps mitigate wildfire risk, maintain wildlife habitat, reduce noxious weeds, and support healthy working landscapes across the state.

To preserve California’s natural resources and resiliency for generations to come, we need ranchers and cattle on the land.
