Conservation Easement
Established 2003
99 Acres

Al and Lynne Dover have donated two conservation easements totaling 99 acres on their Deer Creek property. Both conservation easements protect blue oak woodlands, foothill grasslands and mixed conifer forests. The property offers an approximate half-mile corridor along Deer Creek for wildlife habitat and migration. The proximity to water, the extensive cover, and diverse shrubs and trees makes this very valuable habitat.

The Dovers purchased the ranch in the late 1960s from the Brown family, who were seeking a party who would keep the land intact. It was only natural for the the Dovers to preserve the open space, integrity and purpose of their property using a multi-phase conservation easement.
