Conservation of the Land
The land stands today as it always has, thick with native grasses, Gambel Oak, Juniper, Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine and endless wildflowers. Hundreds of elk reside here, along with mule deer, white tail deer, mountain lions, bobcats, black bears, coyotes, fox, raccoons, wild turkey and almost 60 species of birds.
The Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation placed a conservation easement on the undeveloped land in 1996, guaranteeing that it will remain forever protected as open space. A portion of every Keep homesite sale funds the Foundation to assure its operation into perpetuity.
