Our Mission
Located in the Santa Rosa & San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, Shumway Ranch is an historic homestead on 640 acres of pristine conservation lands pioneered by Steve and Nina Paul Shumway in 1932, and ultimately purchased by the State of California in 2017 for environmental, historical, cultural, and local community benefit purposes.

Our Mission
Under contract since 2018 with the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy-CVMC (a State of California resource agency), Shumway Ranch.Org was formed by local citizen volunteers to provide a range of programs and efforts to help preserve and protect the historical property and its surrounding natural and cultural environment.
