Wildlife movement and cattle grazing would benefit from the latest private land conservation easement coordinated through efforts of the Carbondale-based Aspen Valley Land Trust.
Sylvia and Matthew Ringer, owners of the White Owl Ranch in the Garfield Creek area south of New Castle, have donated a conservation easement to the AVLT for their 240-acre ranch property.
The ranch is defined by its rolling hills, covered with shrublands and meadows used for seasonal cattle grazing. It’s also prime wildlife habitat year round, according to an AVLT press release announcing the deal. the Stout and Triple J ranches the White Owl Ranch easement will help create corridors for wildlife to move freely.
