Help Restore De La Cour Ranch after Wildfire Devastation
On November 22, 2024 the Horseshoe Fire swept down the Sierra Nevada mountains towards the community of Lone Pine and completely destroyed the beloved De La Cour Lavender Ranch in Inyo County, CA. The massive fire raged through the canyon and ranch destroying the thriving watershed in Carroll Creek Canyon and almost all of the structures on the ranch.
We are incredibly saddened by this tremendous loss. This iconic lavender ranch was not only a source of livelihood, but was a labor of love and passion for the community and an important asset to the Owens valley. Countless visitors have visited the ranch over the past years. We’re asking for your help to clean up the toxic mess left behind from the melted plastics, metal and glass. Coale and Julie’s wish is to remediate the land safely. And to restore the land of what remains of the human foot print. Every donation, no matter the size, brings them one step closer to recovery.
Donations will help remediate the land safely with a dedicated professional team in hazmat suits and other precautions. More details about specific expenditures will be forthcoming as we get estimates for the work to be done and learn more about the remediation process.
Thank you for your kindness and support. We are dedicated to restoring this sacred landscape back to a healthy thriving ecosystem that can heal and regenerate.
Thank you for your support!

Set in a gorgeous canyon on Carroll Creek, De La Cour Ranch is a small pocket of private land surrounded by open space. With BLM land to the east, and Forest Service land every other direction, the cabins are nestled among giant cedar, elm and locust trees, and steep canyon walls. At 5,500 feet elevation, the cabin area overlooks the Owens Valley and Inyo Mountains to the east, and to the west, the vertical granite of the Sierra Crest. De La Cour Ranch is far removed, private and peaceful, yet only nine easy (paved and straight) miles from town.
