Check out a new short film from our Beyond Yellowstone Living Lab & Jackson Hole Land Trust! The film spotlights how local landowners are protecting private lands from development through conservation easements. With conservation easements, a landowner agrees to permanently limit development in exchange for a payment or tax credit and are popular throughtout the state. Easements can have enormous benefits for wildlife migration and conservation.
Park County Open Lands is Park County’s first locally led land trust, established as a program of the Jackson Hole Land Trust in early 2023. Less than a year later, Chuck and Marilyn Walker partnered with Park County Open Lands to place the program's first conservation easement on the Four C Ranch.
