Summit County closes 834-acre Ure Ranch purchase near Kamas

The $25 million purchase sets the stage for conserving ecologically important watershed and grazing areas. In addition to agriculture, the land is home to animals like elk and mule deer, plus migratory waterbirds such as Sandhill cranes. The Ure family homesteaded there in the late 1800s. Since then, it’s also supported cattle and dairy.
