Hutchinson Ranch

Located along Highway 50 in central Colorado, Hutchinson Ranch has been a working cattle operation for six generations. As the region becomes increasingly popular as a tourist destination and site for second homes, long-term ranchers like the Hutchinsons face inheritance taxes and other expenses that their traditional ranching operations cannot support.
Working with The Trust for Public Land, the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust (CCALT), and their advisors, the Hutchinsons have planned conservation easements that permanently protect nearly half of the ranch-while allowing the family to continue working the land. Since 2010, they've safeguarded more than 400 acres. TPL is working to secure funding to conserve an additional 240 acres by 2013.
