Tejon Ranch Conservancy volunteers and groups of students spend days collecting old, fallen barbed wire fences in the interior of Tejon Ranch. Shown above at Canyon del Gato Montes on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014 Conservancy Stewardship Manager Laura Pavliscak secures wire that she and a dozen volunteers have pulled off the ground and rolled into neat wreaths. A ranch crew was to come along and pick up the piles of wire. Canyon del Gato Montes flows south through the Tehachapi Mountains to the Joshua tree-covered slopes of the western Antelope Valley. The Conservancy is responsible for protecting and preserving 240,000 acres of the 270,000-acre ranch. The Conservancy headquarters is located at Lebec. For information about naturalist classes and volunteer opportunities, call the Conservancy office at 661-248-2400. See their web site, http://tejonconservancy.org.
