In addition to being an unparalleled natural resource, the Green River Valley also sits atop two of the nation’s highest producing natural gas fields and is threatened with the full trappings of resource development—roads, well pads, power lines and residential subdivisions. In 2008, we brokered the first Wyoming conservation real estate deals using dedicated mitigation funds from the Jonah Interagency Office that help offset impacts to wildlife habitat caused by resource development. With the Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Wyoming Stock Growers Agricultural Land Trust and other partners, we protected more than 3,000 acres of ranchland and wildlife habitat.
