About Us

Vision


To permanently protect Rancho Tajiguas Preserve and manage it as a living landscape, supporting ecological restoration, public access, and environmental education in partnership with the broader conservation community.

Conserving the Gaviota Coast

Rancho Tajiguas Preserve is owned and operated by the Gaviota Coast Conservancy as the cornerstone of a broader strategy to protect and steward the entire Gaviota Coast with willing landowners.

GCC’s long-term vision includes the permanent protection of additional properties in cooperation with willing landowners. Our work at Rancho Tajiguas Preserve complements and strengthens regional conservation efforts through collaboration and shared learning.
