Cook Ranch

Some of San Benito’s best grazing land was protected by this 615-acre conservation easement located near Tres Pinos. This conservation easement adjoins the Cook 1,079 easement for a total of 1,694 acres at this location. Protected in 1997, this preserve contains gently rolling hills that support a working cattle ranch. This preserve also helps protect the vista of the hills southeast of Hollister for future generations while protecting the region’s watershed
