Golden Eagle Ranch Conservation Easement Phase II

Golden Eagle Ranch donated a 967 acre conservation easement to Ducks Unlimited (DU) in 2007. Located outside Proctor, Colorado, the property encompasses 2,100 acres of riverine, riparian and seasonal wetland habitats mixed with irrigated agriculture along the South Platte River. Combined with an easement donated to DU in 2003, the entire property is now protected from future residential and water development. In addition, the property links the 14 mile Tamarack Ranch State Wildlife Area with several Wetland Reserve Program easements to protect an nearly contiguous 35 miles of riparian wildlife corridor.
