A commitment to the future

 The Blue Mountain region is like no other. From rolling farm fields to flowing rivers and sagebrush seas, these landscapes hold what we value most: clean water, open spaces, vital habitat, healthy soils, and livelihoods for agricultural communities.  We are committed to partnering with the community to voluntarily protect the natural, scenic, and agricultural value of landscapes for future generations.

When BMLT completes a conservation easement, we are responsible for regularly monitoring and reporting on the properties to ensure they are being stewarded responsibly, leading to greater conservation benefits for the environment and community. This ongoing land stewardship is what we mean when we say, “We protect the land you love. Forever.”

We work to protect: 

▪︎ Natural habitats for fish, wildlife, and plants, including prairies, forests, wetlands, and sagebrush steppe

▪︎ Working landscapes like farms, ranches, and working forests

▪︎ Watershed areas such as lakeshores, rivers, and streams

▪︎ Scenic landscapes, particularly those with cultural or historic significance

WHERE WE WORK

Together, we have conserved over 23,000 acres of productive river bottoms, prime agricultural lands, and critical wildlife corridors throughout the Blue Mountain region.                          

HOW WE WORK

We partner with landowners to safeguard our open landscapes using conservation easements. These voluntary agreements protect natural resources from unwanted development.
