Henderson Preserve

Project Summary
The Henderson Preserve is located along the Bear River in Franklin County, Idaho, near intersection of HWYs 36 and 34. The conservation easement will permanently protect the property’s diverse open space values, including riparian woodlands along the Bear River, as well as prime agricultural and ranch land.  The project continues the acquisition of conservation lands in the Bear River Drainage aimed at protecting and improving habitat for Bonneville Cutthroat Trout and countless other species. The conservation easement allows the landowners to continue traditional farming and ranching, but forever prohibits development and harmful land uses and activities on the property.
