Clint Eastwood bought a 134-acre California artichoke ranch in 1995; he and Margaret Eastwood later donated land that now forms a 128-acre floodplain restoration site
- When actor Clint Eastwood bought a 134-acre former artichoke farm near California’s Carmel River in 1995, the property came with development potential, water rights and a history rooted in agriculture.
- Two years later, Eastwood and his then-wife Maggie announced plans to transfer the ranch to the Big Sur Land Trust.
- Nearly three decades on, part of that land is at the centre of an ambitious project designed not for houses, but for wetlands, wildlife and flood protection.
