HONOLULU, June 30, 2015—During International Year of Soil, this month is dedicated to raise awareness on how soils support recreation. At Sunset Ranch in Pupukea, the 27-acre property is home to a horse ranch, coffee plantation, citrus orchard, mixed produce farm, aquaculture, and botanical garden. Of the 27 acres, 12 are dedicated to pasture with five acres of riding field for their specialized program that incorporates horses for personal growth, learning, and healing.
Sunset Ranch is one of few agricultural operations that have conveyed a perpetual agricultural conservation easement to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in partnership with the North Shore Community Land Trust and the City and County of Honolulu. The property was preserved for agriculture through the Farm and Ranch Protection Program (FRPP) which is now incorporated under the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) administered by NRCS and authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill.
In addition to the preservation of this agricultural land, Sunset Ranch has a conservation plan with NRCS and the West Oahu Soil and Water Conservation District. The plan includes integrated pest management, micro irrigation, mulching, critical area planting, prescribed grazing, and heavy use area protection. These conservation practices will help to reduce erosion, protect water quality, and manage weeds.
“This is a wonderful example of how an agricultural easement has protected prime agricultural land and helped diversify operations on a ranch known for its equine training and therapy programs, as well as its scenic views,” stated Bruce Petersen, NRCS Director of the Pacific Islands Area. NRCS is the federal agency that provides voluntary technical assistance for conservation and restoration of natural resources on private agricultural lands. Established in 1935 as a response to the Dust Bowl, the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) evolved to the Natural Resources Conservation Service to protect, restore and enhance soil, water, air, plants, and animal resources, with human social, economic and cultural considerations. In 1937 Soil Conservation Associations, now called Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD), were authorized by President Roosevelt to act as local partners to the Federal SCS, and can plan and carry out local programs for soil conservation, flood prevention, water management, outdoor recreation, and other purposes within their boundaries. Hawaii has 16 SWCD’s on eight islands.
NRCS, SWCD, and conservation cooperators such as Sunset Ranch, have been dedicated to conserving and enhancing the natural resources on private agricultural properties for decades, and this means starting with the soils that support and enable agricultural production and recreational activities, such as found at Sunset Ranch. To learn more about the programs and services of NRCS, and how we are celebrating International Year of Soils, visit www.pia.nrcs.usda.gov. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

We are absolutely thrilled to introduce our Native Tree planting program at Sunset Ranch. Concurrent with the launch of our Site Tour Experiences, our guests are now provided the unique opportunity to plant a native tree in the mauka regions of Waimea Valley (and in some cases Sunset Ranch), all in the spirit of land conservation and forest restoration. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the land conservation cause in Hawaii.
The Native Tree planting program was made possible by an operating agreement with Hi’ipaka, LLC, the owner and operator of Waimea Valley. As a result, Sunset Ranch guests are provided exclusive access to newly cleared trails and lookouts in the mauka regions of the valley. We have just recently begun to eradicate invasive plants and trees as we thoughtfully reintroduce native plants with the objective of meaningfully advancing forest restoration in this region of the North Shore.
Site Tour Experiences are provided exclusively in partnership with Hawaiian Fresh Farms, and are made by reservation ONLY. Availability can be found on the calendar at the Book NOW tab. Please book here online. If you require more information, please contact us at (808)638-8333 or admin@sunsetranchhawaii.com. Mahalo nui loa for your support!
