Preservation
El Sur Ranch irrigation management and practices are responsible, efficient and effective uses of water resources. Both water and land management at El Sur Ranch reflect an impressive legacy of stewardship and concern for the surrounding environment. An example of the Hill family commitment to responsible stewardship of the land is its preservation of 3,252 acres of the El Sur Ranch through a conservation easement granted in 1997. This conservation easement provides legal protection against any future development of the property.
El Sur Ranch has historically sought to protect the aesthetic values of this stunning landscape admired by millions who drive America’s most scenic highway.
