The National Ghost Ranch Foundation and the Presbyterian Foundation jointly announced plans to preserve the landscapes and vistas made famous by artist Georgia O’Keeffe through a new partnership with the State of New Mexico and the New Mexico Land Conservancy.
Ghost Ranch has served as a Presbyterian conference and retreat center since 1955, when Arthur and Phoebe Pack donated the land to the Board of Christian Education, which is now part of the Presbyterian Foundation.
The Ghost Ranch Conservation Plan will protect 6,000 acres of land, water, and wildlife habitat in Northern New Mexico through conservation easements while ensuring sustainable operations for Ghost Ranch’s educational programs for years to come. A conservation easement is a voluntary agreement to preserve land for conservation purposes while allowing landowners to retain ownership.
