Landowner Bill Bramlette
and ESLT Lands Director, Karen Ferrell-Ingram signed the final documents to
record the easement on Bill's 900-acre property earlier this month. This easement will permanently preserve the incredible
wetlands, meadows, springs and wild lands found on the property. Sustainable grazing will continue and the scenic vistas
enjoyed by so many travelers along Highway 120 will be maintained.
Through
funding from the Sierra Nevada-Cascade Conservation Grant Program (Prop. 50),
Defenders of Wildlife, and the California Council of Land Trusts, along with
support from our generous members, this project will be a great benefit to
the region and its inhabitants. Finally, we have been
privileged to work with a wonderful landowner who believed in preserving his
land for future generations.
Look for upcoming special
events celebrating this great project in the spring!
Once again, thanks for your partnership to make projects
like this possible.
Sincerely,
The
Staff at the Eastern Sierra Land Trust
Karen, Cheryl, Katie, Heather & John
