In 1963, Ramsey Canyon was the first site in the United States designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service.
In 1974, The Nature Conservancy received 280 acres in Ramsey Canyon as a bequest from Dr. Nelson C. Bledsoe, fulfilling his wish that the natural values of the canyon be preserved for future generations.
Subsequent acquisitions have expanded the preserve to 380 acres. Today, staff and volunteers at Ramsey Canyon work on ecological restoration designed to restore natural ecosystem processes within the canyon.

Today, Ramsey Canyon is the focus of much scientific interest. Biologists of many disciplines have
made important discoveries here.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and support on my recent posts.
I'm a little "under the weather" today, so I'm going to rest and catch up with you later.
