A Nevada rancher has permanently protected 1,228 acres of land to support farming and safeguard habitat for the rare Bi-State sage-grouse. David Park began efforts to conserve Desert Creek Ranch in 2016, according to the Eastern Sierra Land Trust. The work has now resulted in a permanent conservation agreement covering the entire 1,228 acres. The agreement prevents non-agricultural development and protects the land as both working ranchland and wildlife habitat. A separate grant awarded in 2026 will also support restoration work across 350 acres of the property.
