RAVENS PATH PRESERVES, RESTORES AND OPERATES PROPERTIES OF HISTORIC, ECOLOGICAL AND AESTHETIC IMPORTANCE ON CALIFORNIA’S COAST; FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LAND, COMMUNITY, AND OUR SHAREHOLDERS.
HISTORY
“The heads of strong old age are beautiful / Beyond all grace of youth”― Robinson Jeffers
Ravens Path’s portfolio of historic properties includes the first (1817) and last (1874) authentic Adobes homes built in Monterey, Alta Califonia’s first capital, dating to the Spanish Imperial Period. These homes forged of sun and earth enliven not just the successive epochs of California’s history: their old walls deliver us to something more fundamental and elemental.
Land
“When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. There is no other way for land to survive the impact of mechanized man, nor for us to reap from it the esthetic harvest it is capable of, under science, contributing to culture.” Leopold.
Ravens Path continues to acquire properties of fast vanishing endemic Monterey Pine, Cypress, and Coast Live Oak forest to sustain the wild things and beings who rely on it, and to guard this legacy, as long as we may, for posterity.
