Pequena Colina/Welcome to the Ranch

With a rich history going back to the days when ranching was more popular in the reagion, the Pequena Colina is an old ranch southwest of Prospect. With years of drought off and on in the region, the prior owners couldn't keep up with the business or bigger ranches. The Ranch has fallen into the hands of the Torreyana Trust, a group dedicated to the preservation of the Torrey Pine. Not the pines limited natural habitat north of Prospect, it can grow hearty out here, continuing to preserve seeds. This allows researchers of the Trust to focus agriculture studies here on hearty specimens now growing on the property to hopefully assist with a rebound of the Torrey Pine.

Tourist Attraction

The Ranch operates as an historical and varietal preserve. Aimed at preserving the Torrey Pine in part as well as Southern California's history in citrus agriculture. While the information is contained at the Visitors Center in a museum, there are several acres off the main compound for hiking in the natural terrain of Southern California as well as a Tractor Trailer Ride through that country to showcase the trees they are growing in preservation as well as their unique varietals and heirloom orange orchard.

Torreyana Trust

The Torreyana Trust works mostly with the protection and preservation of indigenous plant life of Southern California with a focus on the Torrey Pine. If one is charitable and likes to offer work or, more so, direction by joining the board even, there is availability to contribute to this work.

Pine Arbor Corp

When cared for, the Torrey Pine is robust and produces seed and sapling alike. Along with a few other natural specimens. The excess of these have been used as a private sector entity with a special focus on landscaping and gardening for the well to do of Prospect and surrounding areas. With a wealth of knowledgeable staff that includes renowned experts in the care of these species available to help with home landscape and gardening needs, this start up landscape service is growing rapidly.

Enjoy Working Outdoors

Plenty of job opportunity either way. From Ranch Hand work, helping with the horses, the gardens, the kitchen, maintenance, coordinating events, information desk, the stewardship of the land and trees, the orchards, the various stores and attractions. If its not there, but would work well with a historical preservation type attraction, we can make it work.

OOC Note

The full intention for the main operator of the Ranch, Joseph, is completely plot driven fun in the vein of any modern drama. There will be plots to be had, and fun all around, which will in no way affect any meta or grid type plots. Honestly just a little mortal fun for something to do. Feel free to contact with interest and inquiries.
