SUCCESS STORIES
CALIFORNIA RANGELAND TRUST
John and Patricia Garamendi, guided by a deep respect for the environment and Native American heritage, protected their Touch the Earth Ranch through California Rangeland Trust’s first conservation easement, ensuring its ecological preservation and continued legacy for future generations.
TEXAS AGRICULTURAL LAND TRUST
As veteran wildcatters, Clayton and Modesta Williams of Midland routinely took leaps of faith. Known for their business acumen and innovative land stewardship, the couple had done their research—and were swayed by the Texas Ag Land Trust’s unique mission to conserve working lands.
NEBRASKA LAND TRUST
In June of 2023, Nebraska Land Trust completed an easement with Les and Jan Graham on their family ranch. The rare combination of the ranch’s ecological importance, location, size and positive impact for water quality make it one of the most significant conservation projects NLT has ever completed.
