Conserved! Mansfield Acres Conservation Easement

Submitted on

Chelan-Douglas Land Trust has completed a conservation easement protecting 998 acres of shrub-steppe and grassland habitat in Douglas County, providing important habitat for the state-endangered Greater Sage-Grouse.

Through this voluntary agreement with Mansfield Acres, LLC, the property near CDLT’s Spiva Butte Nature Preserve will be permanently protected from subdivision and development, helping preserve this rare landscape and the wildlife that depend on it.

This project was made possible through funding from:

  • Natural Resources Conservation Service
  • Butler Foundation
  • A generous gift from the Estate of Neil Asmussen
  • The landowner
  • CDLT members
