Our Experience with Land Protection

 “We wanted to preserve this property for all time, and the conservation easement seemed to be
the way to do it.”

—Jim and Rita Crimmins, El Topo Conservation Easement

“We like the simplicity of our life here together. We think it’s important to take care of our fellow humans, the animals of the world, and now the land.”

—Drs. Robert Smith and Rocky Roberts, Happy Tails Conservation Easement

“Mel and I have always been nature lovers, and our children were definitely nature kids. When we talked to them about this, their support made us even more sure that we were doing the right thing. We’re hopeful that if more people who own property along the river do something similar, it will really help to improve things in the future.”

—Mel and Nancy Johnson, Johnson's Creek Conservation Easement
