Maintaining Conservation Standards

With over 190,000 acres of our 1.3 million-acre watershed in some sort of conservation designation, we understand the importance of maintaining a high standard for protecting these conservation lands. In 2017, we took on the major program area of monitoring and helping to manage a large conservation easement held by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation at the Three Links Farm near Cascabel. Conservation easement monitoring has become an important concern for our organization and for our sister organization, Cascabel Conservation Association.

We still engage in some cooperative research and on-the-ground conservation projects on our individual properties, but we mainly conduct these activities as part of maintaining our properties in a responsible and sustainable manner, and we integrate those efforts into our three main program areas. We still develop educational materials, but this is done in conjunction with our advocacy efforts.
