  The Cornerstone of a Conservation Easement is Finding the Right Partner

  Jun 8, 202650 minS1

  Conservation easements are a durability tool. On this show, Erik Glenn, CEO of Colorado Cattlemen’s Ag Land Trust, is joined by Colorado rancher Lee Rooks, whose family circumstances led them to leverage a conservation easement on their ranch to preserve the grazing land in an area seeing rapid development. A conservation easement was the right choice for Lee and his family to protect their ranching operation, could it be the right choice for your operational goals? The Partnership of Rangeland Trust prioritizes the producer first, closely followed by the agricultural value of the land. Erik explained that if it doesn’t work for the producer, then it doesn’t work at all.
