RANDOLPH, Utah. January 8,
2014. Birch Tree Conservation Easement is a protection for 6,446 acres of grazing
and hunting lands on the north and
south of the Monte Cristo Road which
will be held by Rocky Mountain Elk
Foundation, Dan Dygert brought in the
baseline plat for the county records. “It
is good that they are preserving this , because it is pretty prime development
property,” Said Tom Weston. This easement is now protected in perpetuity. This keeps it as open space for grazing and
hunting, wildlife and agriculture. They have reserved full grazing rights. There are tax benefits to land owners who put
their land in conservation easments.
Alan Barbar and his family will manage the grazing. He currently leases land to Bill Steward who
has cattle grazing until July when he takes the stock off so that cover can
grow back for good hunting. There will
also be fenced acreage for sheep grazing. The primary purpose of this easement is to protect wildlife.
