In eastern Summit County, a ranching legacy continues. Like many farmers in the area, the Blonquist family was feeling the pressure to sell their land for development as the nearby urban centers and bustling ski towns were fast expanding.  But instead of selling, the family turned to TPL for help protecting their 4,700-acre, fourth generation ranch.

A conservation easement now keeps the land intact, off-limits to subdivision, and preserves the regulated hunting and fishing public access that the family has allowed on their land for years. With their land preserved, the Blonquist family can continue raising cattle, passing their traditions on to the next generation.
