Welcome to Heritage Ranch
|
Heritage Ranch is a non-profit agency serving the Pacifc Southwest with projects in Hawaii, California, Arizona, and New Mexico. We are focused on introducing new tools and technologies to improve the quality of life in underserved communities. Environmental stewardship, resource conservation, local historic preservation, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and multi-cultural diversity are the cornerstones of our programs.
Heritage Ranch coordinates rural community facility and renewable energy development programs, hosts agriculture education / ag-tourism programs, and promotes technologies that aim to preserve and improve the rewarding and irreplacable heritage of rural living. We also host sister programs that promote increased environmental stewardship and preservation of open spaces in urban communities.
Our fun and rewarding education programs include online distance learning and hands-on real world learning opportunties for all ages, with an emphasis on memorable cross-generational discoveries and experiences for youth and adults. We work with many types of communities - from remote Native American villages to inner-city youth programs - all aimed at better meeting the needs of underserved communities.
