The NPS bought the ranch, added it to Chiricahua, and spent money fixing up the house while neglecting the landscaping.  I am interested in getting advice and perhaps some labor from people interested in helping maintain the remaining existing plants as well as establishing a small orchard of similar trees.

Might your club be interested in adopting Faraway Ranch as a project.  As a volunteer I can't promise anything but perhaps some funding, housing, tools, etc. might be available.
