Recently, we learn that the Land Conservancy has purchased the 1700 acre Santa Rita Ranch off 46 west, just west of Old Creek road. Paul Morgan of Paso Robles says he was up there several decades ago.
Morgan says the Ahrtzel family, who owned the Santa Rita Ranch had an amazing collection of fossils they collected on the ranch.
The land purchased by the Land Conservancy to protect the ranch.
We don’t know yet how much public access there will be to the Old Santa Rita Ranch, if there’s any at all.
