"The Commonweal Conservancy in Santa Fe has donated a 320-acre conservation easement valued at $1.2 million to the Santa Fe Conservation Trust.

The donation is among the highest value conservation easements received by the Trust in its 15-year history. It is the first in a series of easement donations that the nonprofit Commonweal Conservancy will make to protect the Galisteo Basin Preserve.

The gift is a critical first step in the permanent protection of the Preserve’s scenic and cultural resources, as well as its wildlife habitat, said Ted Harrison, president and founder of the Commonweal Conservancy." More>>>>
