Preserving the Walking Box Ranch

The Walking Box Ranch provides people with a three-dimensional learning experience that shows how the Mojave Desert is versatile. The Walking Box Ranch merged cattle ranching and Hollywood in the eastern part of the Mojave Desert. Preserving the ranch gives the general public a chance to experience the environment and eventually shed the negative perception of the desert. Changing the impression of the Mojave Desert creates a foundational framework for environmental sustainability. The Walking Box Ranch is a cultural landscape that represents man-made and natural environments. Through the interaction of artifacts displayed in the Walking Box Ranch people have the opportunity to not only see the importance of Nevada, but also the impact of ranching in the American West, and the Mojave Desert’s significant influence in history.
