The Sommers Ranch and Grindstone Cattle Co. conservation easements were completed in partnership with the landowners and the WY Game and Fish Department in 2010 and allow nearly 19,000 acres of working ranchland to remain undeveloped and forever an open, working landscape. The project is now featured in a video produced by the Natural Resources Conservation Service to illustrate its Sage Grouse Initiative. http://sagegrouseinitiative.
