JE CANYON RANCH

This project will permanently eliminate development opportunities on 48,817 acres of shortgrass prairie grassland ..habitat and riparian areas. This property is used extensively by several species of Neotropical migratory birds.

This ..project focuses on two primary objectives, (1) permanently protect 48,817 acres of grassland habitat and riparian ..areas; and (2) incentivize additional conservation opportunities with neighboring landowners. These objectives will ..be met through the acquisition of a permanent conservation easement on the JE Canyon Ranch.

Neighboring ..landowners often initiate projects following the completion of a successful conservation transaction. CCALT intends..to use the JE Canyon Ranch transaction as a demonstration project for this region.
