Rim Ranch along Palo Duro Canyon being saved for future generations

A beautiful, sweeping stretch of privately-owned land along one of Texas's most iconic landscapes, Palo Duro Canyon State Park, is now being permanently protected. The first easement covers 1,725 acres with funding from the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service Agricultural Conservation Easement Program and Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation’s Buffer Lands Incentive Program. Both programs support voluntary conservation efforts near Texas state parks, wildlife management areas and other protected areas.
