Conservation of working lands and open space
SCLT has conserved 3,500 acres of working lands with 9 local families through conservation easements. From Clearmont to the foot of the Big Horns we have worked with local families to secure their legacy of their property. The conservation of these properties ensures our heritage of open space, healthy rivers, working ranches, and wildlife habitat for future generations.
