A donated conservation easement from Yale and Alicia Muhm—and nearly $50,000 from the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation—keeps more than 1,000 acres of forest and more than three miles of headwater streams intact in Warren County.
The August 2010 issue of the Missouri Conservationist features the 2009 contributuion of Yale and Alicia Muhm, donated a conservation easement of more than 1,000 acres to the Ozark Regional Land Trust (ORLT). The Muhm’s donation of this highly valuable conservation easement, together with nearly $50,000 from MCHF, allowed ORLT to protect the land in perpetuity. The MCHF funding was made possible from the Stream Stewardship Trust Fund because of the importance of protecting the numerous headwater streams on the property.
“This is another example of how MCHF is partnering with conservation organizations and landowners to protect natural resources in Missouri” said Ted Heisel, Executive Director of ORLT. “MCHF was essential to making this project work, as its financial support ensures that ORLT can uphold the conservation easement in perpetuity.”
