[pct-l] Tejon Ranch Co. Announces Settlement of Litigation Related to the Tejon Ranch Conservation and Land Use Agreement

Paint, don't get your hopes up.  There is more to the issue than just the Tejon Ranch portion.  The problem is tying the "new" trail that would be built on the easement granted by Tejon Ranch back into the existing PCT at some point.  There are many parcels of private land between where the Tejon Ranch portion would end and any practical place where the "new" trail could connect with the existing trail.  I have been told by one of the trail gorillas that has done trial work in that area for decades that many of the owners of those private parcels have stated that they will not grant an easement across their land.  Most express concerns about hiker campfires and just generally not wanting hundreds if not thousands of people hiking across their property each year.  So, unless something changes in that regard, building new trail across the Tejon Ranch property would be pointless.

Good riddance to 2021 & 2022. HELLO 2023!

START >>> TEJON RANCH, Calif., Nov. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tejon Ranch Co. is pleased to announce the resolution of a legal dispute involving the Tejon Ranch Conservancy and the signatories to the 2008 Tejon Ranch Conservation and Land Use Agreement (Agreement), namely, Audubon California, Endangered Habitats League, Natural Resources Defense Council, Planning and Conservation League, and the Sierra Club. The dispute stemmed from the signatories’ participation in the Antelope Valley Regional Conservation Strategy (AVRCIS), which was subsequently used by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and the California Native Plant Society
(CNPS) to oppose Tejon Ranch Co.’s Centennial development.

All the best- Paint
