Vacation With Purpose

Preserving Wild
Places for All

Spanning 1.1 million acres across three awe-inspiring properties in New Mexico, Ted Turner Reserves offers an unparalleled invitation to connect with nature and become part of a conservation legacy. From fishing in restored streams to witnessing once nearly extinct bison roam rewilded landscapes, every visit is a vacation with purpose.

Ted’s
Lifelong Quest

Ted Turner’s accomplishments are as multifaceted as his enduring legacy: founder of CNN, professional sports team owner, champion sailor, restaurateur, philanthropist, and conservationist—just to name a few. From the Turner Institute of Ecoagriculture and the Turner Foundation to his historic $1 billion gift establishing the United Nations Foundation, he has championed global conservation. Turner wishes to share his love of nature and discovery in the hope that those visiting his properties will develop a deeper appreciation for and awareness of what our Earth has to offer and, just as importantly, a shared responsibility for the well-being of our environment.
