Empire Ranch

The Paula and Cabot Sedgwick Family Foundation operates The Santa Fe Ranch, a 3,400-acre working cattle ranch located along the upper reaches of the Santa Cruz River, and Las Lagunas de Anza, a 9-acre desert wetland within Nogales, Arizona. The ranch exemplifies best practices in balancing fragile desert ecology with the production of high-quality beef while also hosting various educational and community initiatives. Las Lagunas de Anza, recognized as the outstanding wetlands project in the United States in 2012, serves as a vibrant site for birdwatching, community events, and enjoying the rare sight of water in the desert. Through its commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement, the foundation highlights the intersection of agriculture and conservation. Generated from the website
