California has such a unique and beautiful landscape unlike any other. Oceans touching forests, high deserts, low valleys, pristine mountain peaks, the list goes on and on. 

Young Ranch is a part of that beautiful CA landscape we all love so much and fight to preserve. It is a link in the chain of open space along Coyote Ridge and connects two of California's diverse coastal ranges, the Santa Cruz mountains, and the Diablo Range. 

Like us, many others share the same love for this land and all it encompasses, actively using their platforms as a voice.
