"We love nature--seeing natural landscapes, walking in and connecting with the land, tending to the soil, plants, and animals to create a healthy ecosystem--nature is not only part of our life but our way of life. As local ranchers, our relationship with nature not only sustains our business but it feeds our souls. Protecting our land from development with a conservation easement means that not only do we get to live our dream of a ranching lifestyle, but future generations will have the same opportunity to experience what we love and cherish."
- Wendy and Bart Morris, owners of Oxbow Cattle Co. and soon-to-be Five Valleys conservation easement landowners
