Nevada rancher's 1,228 acres conserved; grant to treat 350 acres

David Park has successfully conserved 1,228 acres of land at Desert Creek Ranch in Nevada. This effort focuses on protecting habitats for the rare Bi-State sage-grouse while allowing continued agricultural activities. A permanent conservation agreement prevents non-agricultural development and preserves the land's ecological value. Additionally, a future grant will facilitate restoration work across 350 acres to control invasive grass and support biodiversity.
