Shumway Ranch
Next Steps at Shumway Ranch
In 2023, we are working to establish a reservation system to book small groups that would like to tour the property and learn about the history and mission in preserving wildlife while still providing access in a responsible manner for the public.
Construction at Shumway Ranch
With the Coachella Valley Desert and Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority formed, 2021/2022 saw construction done to include a shade structure, restrooms, and grading and stormwater protection was performed. Additionally, a well was added, and all of these improvements will enable the educational groups to access the property and have the amenities needed to do so comfortably.
