Protection of the ranch would tie together the 6,000-acre Newhall Ranch open space dedication, the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority’s 12,000-acre Rocky Peak Park-Antonovich Regional Park at Joughin Ranch complex, and Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District’s 1,000-acre Marr Ranch open space. The 6,668-acre Big Sky Ranch spans 6,668 acres across the southern face of the Santa Susana Mountains above Simi Valley. The ranch connects to Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District properties in Alamos, Dry, and Tapo Canyons and Ventura County-owned Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park. It is also part of the South Coast Missing Linkage that connects the range across the 118 freeway to the Arroyo Simi, the Santa Susana Pass, and the Simi Hills. The acquisition of Poe Ranch and Big Sky Ranch together presents an opportunity to protect approximately 15,000 acres and tie 30,000 acres of existing open space into a contiguous 45,000-acre of open space.”
