OUR
POLICY IS TO PROTECT and preserve the wild animals and plants that
are indigenous to this beautiful southwest region of America. It is
important for the Ranch to maintain a careful balance between the
wild animals and the domesticated cattle, goats, pigs, and even
buffalo. This is achieved by carefully monitoring water resources
and protecting this fragile desert habitat. Visitors to the Ranch
will not leave behind any trash, deliberately damage vegetation or
disturb wildlife. Needless to say, hunting is not allowed on the
Ranch property.
In addition the Ranch has a policy of working closely with the
Arizona's Fish and Game Department and the Bureau of Land
Management.
