    In Point Reyes, Cattle Ranching As We Know It Is Ending. What Now? May 07, 2025
    Show notes

    After a decadeslong fight, the majority of ranching along the Point Reyes National Seashore will end by next year, thanks to a legal settlement involving environmentalists, ranchers, and the National Park Service. Environmentalists say the deal will protect native animal and grass species. Meanwhile, ranchers and workers are now in a scramble to find housing in an area already squeezed for options.

    Editor's Note: An earlier version of this episode stated that ranchers would need to leave roughly 28,000 acres of land and that some ranchers would have up to 20 years to cease operations. The correct number is roughly 16,000 acres, and all 12 ranchers will have 15 months to cease operations. It has also been updated to clarify the terms of the settlement and provide additional context on the Point Reyes Act.
