Eco - Tour Experience

 

Join us for an educational walking tour of the Ranch as we look at our efforts at sustainable agriculture, eco-system management, and biodiversity conservation practices.

Depending on the season, we’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Hike, birdwatch, and view wildlife

  • Look at river systems designed to improve fish migration

  • Trek and nature watch in private, protected areas

  • Examine and discuss soil-building measures

  • Inspect wildlife migration structures

  • Enjoy a cultural experience with a local community

  • Tree-planting experiences

  • Identify flora, fauna and natural resources

  • Learn sustainable ecosystem practices

  • Learn the geological and ecological history of the area

As a result of this experience, you will be actively helping to accomplish the following:

  • Conservation

    • By funding conservation and sustainability initiatives, you will be increasing public awareness of the value of conservation, and how such activities can aid in the protection and preservation of delicate natural ecological systems.

  • Economic Benefit to Local, Rural Communities

    • Provide direct financial benefit to rural communities in the form of job generation and small enterprise growth and development

  • Cultural Exchange

    • Enable cross-cultural interactions between visitors and local populations, fostering respect and understanding

  • Education

    • Learn about local ecology and culture and thereby gain a deeper understanding of the natural world

  • Sustainable Land Management Practices

    • Help promote sustainable development and increase biodiversity by encouraging ecologically friendly land management practices and reducing environmental degradation

  • Honoring Local People, their culture, and their traditions

    • Learning about new customs and traditions is an eye-opener for any visitor while interacting with nature in a more profound way.  By choosing an eco-tour such as this, you educate yourself and your family while learning and participating in distinctive, genuine, local traditions and culture.

  • Research Opportunities

    • As more people see nature up close and become more aware about ecosystem management and stewardship, passions are ignited that result in expanded interest in research opportunities and better management techniques, etc.

An Eco-Tour at the Eagle Rock Ranch is a responsible form of both recreation and education that prioritizes and rewards conservation, community well-being, and environmental education.  It offers a unique experience that promotes environmental awareness and preservation, and offers such activities as hiking, bird-watching, plant identification, and soil enhancement.
