About Vaquero Legacy

The Foundation was created to demonstrate and support land preservation, responsible rangeland and wildlife management, environmental conservation, and agricultural and animal science initiatives.

Our Mission

The mission of the Vaquero Legacy Preservation Foundation (VLPF) is to promote and preserve the western way of life through education, outreach, and responsible stewardship of our land and natural resources. We are dedicated to advancing land preservation, rangeland & wildlife management, environmental conservation, and innovation in agricultural science to help ensure a prosperous future for farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, VLPF partners with universities, research institutions, 4-H Clubs, and other youth-focused organizations to support our initiatives. We also provide scholarships to students pursuing studies in these vital fields. Through these efforts, we strive to make a lasting impact on future generations and uphold the legacy of the American West.
