Crescent Ranch Conservation Easement Closes!

Crescent Ranch, Dolores County Colorado

On Tuesday, Montezuma Land Conservancy completed a two year process to protect the 4,847 acre Crescent Ranch. The property is in two parcels: one in central Dolores County containing high elevation aspen forests and oakbrush woodlands and a second parcel located in western Montezuma County containing natural desert habitat and alluvial basins.

In the landowner’s words, “this project keeps the land all together just like Dad wanted from the beginning.”

The project was made possible by grant funding from Great Outdoors Colorado, the Farm and Ranchland Protection Program and grants from the Packard Foundation and Gates Family Foundation.
