Conserved for
Thoroughbred owner and breeder Walter Thomson and his late wife Holly donated a conservation easement in 1986 over their Happy Canyon ranch. The easement ensures this spectacular, oak-studded land is never subdivided for dense development. The easement restricts cultivated agriculture to mapped areas outside of the oak savannah, native grassland and pine forest that serve as an important wildlife corridor between Lake Cachuma and the Los Padres National Forest.
