Not everybody in California can ever brag about bringing home a GEELA. Fewer still can say they won it twice, but Prather Ranch's owners can.
GEELA is the Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award, California's highest environmental honor.
Prather Ranch won for the second time recently, for its stewardship of a half-million acres of land in the North State. Owners Mary and Jim Rickert explain how they approach land management, and the results it bears.
