Working together, the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County, The Trust for Public Land and Midland School have permanently protected an historic, ecological haven while meeting local, statewide and federal conservation objectives for water quality, wildlife habitat, agriculture, and scenic open space preservation. As the scenic gateway to the Figueroa Mountain recreation area, the Midland School easement will be appreciated by visitors driving along Figueroa Mountain Road into the National Forest, and to people hiking, riding and biking in the San Rafael Wilderness Area above Midland.
