Bob Stine, at podium, CEO of the Tejon Ranch Co., and a group of environmentalists hold a news conference, Thursday, May 8, 2008, in Lebec, Calif., to announce they have reached a deal that would set aside the largest parcel of land, shown on map in foreground, for conservation in the state's history. A vast expanse of classic California landscape in mountains north of Los Angeles would be preserved as wilderness under an agreement in which conservationists will not oppose plans to build thousands of homes and develop commercial areas on other parts of sprawling Tejon Ranch.
