Fall is a wonderful time to be out on Tejon Ranch and exploring throughout the Tehachapi Mountain range. When the heat of summer finally fades and you begin make your plans for adventures in the outdoors, we invite you to join us for one of our upcoming Public Access and volunteer events on the Ranch and beyond.

All Conservancy events on Tejon Ranch require registration in advance, so don’t wait — sign up today!

Scroll down to see the list of events.

Stewardship Volunteer Work Day

Friday, Sept. 9 | 8 a.m. – 11 a.m.

Come help us remove tamarisk trees, tree tobacco, and trees of heaven at the Panofsky-Wilson Preserve. These taxa are highly invasive and disrupt ecosystem processes within native California ecosystems, especially in riparian zones. This project will help restore the conservation value of Caliente Creek, which runs through the Preserve.

RSVP

Big Sycamore Canyon Hike

Saturday, Sept. 10 | 9a.m. – 2 p.m.

This hike in the high desert features diverse flora and fauna including native grasslands, oak/sycamore woodlands and if we are lucky, a glimpse of pronghorn in the Mojave flatlands.

 

Difficulty Level: Moderate 5 Miles.

*Because close-proximity travel is necessary, masks must be worn in the Conservancy’s vehicles on the way to/from the trailhead.
