GarCo reps oppose 30 x 30
The Garfield County Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution opposing President Biden’s executive order to preserve 30% of public land and water by 2030. Noting that 62% of Garfield County is public land, the commissioners say that this executive order would likely harm the local economy by “preventing productive use of resources and depriving residents of access to public lands,” and conflicts with the “Federal Lands Natural Resource Coordination Plan and Policies” adopted by the county in September 2020. The resolution also notes that, “Left in an undisturbed or natural state, these lands are highly susceptible to wildland wildfires, insect infestation and disease, all of which exacerbate greenhouse emissions which adversely impact global climate change.”

Garfield Creek ranch conservation aids wildlife protection south of New Castle

Wildlife movement and cattle grazing would benefit from the latest private land conservation easement coordinated through efforts of the Carbondale-based Aspen Valley Land Trust.
Sylvia and Matthew Ringer, owners of the White Owl Ranch in the Garfield Creek area south of New Castle, have donated a conservation easement to the AVLT
for their 240-acre ranch property.
The ranch is defined by its rolling hills, covered with shrublands and meadows used for seasonal cattle grazing. It’s also prime wildlife habitat year round, according to an AVLT press release announcing the deal.
— the Stout and Triple J ranches — the White Owl Ranch easement will help create corridors for wildlife to move freely.
