The Campaign for Eagle Peak Ranch
The Campaign for Eagle Peak Ranch
Imagine a lost valley with deer running through it. A place with abundant wildlife and room for people to explore. This is Eagle Peak Ranch - a 299 acre wild oasis just a few miles from Pine Hills and Julian.
A few year round springs feed a stream which ultimately builds until it drops into the incredible Upper San Diego River Gorge. More than a century of cattle grazing has left its imprint on the valley including a large pond and several seasonal ones.
Eagle Peak Ranch is a wonderful valley which includes Temescal Creek. The purchase of this Ranch took several years but the dream was worth it. People came together to save this valley from development which would ruin the biological and scenic integrity of the area. To acquire and conserve this beautiful valley several loans needed to be secured to raise the $1.3 million purchase price. With the support of many, all but one $300,000 loan has been paid off. Your gift today can help remove this burden and secure the future of this amazing valley.
