Landmark conservation easement closing on 18,484 acre historic Nottingham Ranch in Eagle and Routt Counties, marking an unprecedented collaborative effort between Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust and Federal, State and County funders and other non-profit conservation organizations to ensure one of the largest working ranches in Colorado remains intact and working for generations to come. The ranch is irrigated using more than 175 cfs of senior water rights in the Upper Colorado River Basin, which are tied to the land through the conservation easements.
