Tejon Ranch is working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to establish a 37,000 acre preserve that would play a vital role in the California Condor Recovery Program. In addition to serving as a study area, the preserve could also be used for a feeding and release site for the condor.

The Ranch plans to employ a full-time biologist to help with the program and will also manage its land and plan its limited development in a manner that will be compatible with condor recovery efforts.
