Building on four decades of promoting preservation through art, The Oak Group is proud to announce its Fall 2026 show benefiting the California Rangeland Trust whose mission is to protect California rangelands through conservation agreements.<\/p>\n

The California Rangeland Trust has partnered with California ranching families across the State to permanently protect 433,010 acres of beautiful open spaces as working landscapes forever. These lands serve as wildlife corridors and carbon sponges, where sensitive species thrive, our air is cleaned and our fresh water flows, home to resources that benefit us all. The exhibit will feature paintings of 10 California Rangeland Trust conservation easements in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties: Rancho Arbolado, Hanson Ranch, Hearst Ranch, Carrizo Ranch, Spanish Ranch, San Lorenzo Ranch, Ahearn Ranch, Covell Ranch\/PBS, El Chorro Ranch and San Lucas Ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
