LANDOWNER STORIES

anne prichard

A third generation landowner, protected her 168-acre Historic Johnson Farm.

"I want to leave the land alone and let the birds and the animals live here and have people come out to see the open space. There's not many places like this. You can stand here and think about the sweep of history. Buffalo used to traipse around here. That's pretty neat."

george and lindi holmes

Chose to forever protect their 60 acre property surrounding Moores Creek near Lincoln in Washington County.

"When we first saw the property, we knew we wanted it, but in the next moment, we knew we must find a way to keep it as natural as possible and to make our presence here compatible with its value as wildlife habitat. A conservation easement with NWALT means we can do it all: have it, enjoy it, someday pass it on, and as much as humanly possible, preserve it for the future."

jack & anne butt

Permanently protected their 700-acre rural retreat in 2020.

"I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have and cherish every moment in this part of creation. We don't own the earth, we just borrow it for a short while here, and hope to leave it better than our leasehold found it."
