17,757 acres conserved in Carbon County safeguarding agricultural land, wildlife habitats and historic open spaces

The Wyoming Stock Growers Land Trust and Ryan Lance, president and manager of the Pathfinder Sand Creek Ranch, finalized a conservation easement to permanently protect 17,757 acres in Carbon County, safeguarding productive agricultural land, vital wildlife habitats and historic open spaces. The property sits at the heart of one of Wyoming’s most historically significant landscapes — where the Oregon, Mormon, Pioneer and California Trails, collectively known as the Emigrant Trail, cross its northern boundary.
