AGRICULTURAL AND RIPARIAN CONSERVATION EASEMENTS
ON THE KINGS RIVER TO GET A BOOST
The El Rio Reyes Conservation Trust is embarking on newly-enhanced efforts to promote agricultural and riparian easements on the Kings River. El Rio Reyes Board President Kent Kinney announced that the Trust would be working with the Vulcan Materials Company to obtain and maintain conservation easements along the river corridor. Kinney stated that "the Vulcan Company, which operates the Sanger-Centerville aggregate facility and other aggregate operations throughout the United States, is working cooperatively with El Rio Reyes Conservation Trust in this effort. Recognizing the benefits of preserving agricultural and riparian lands, Vulcan is committed to financially supporting this conservation activity by the community-based El Rio Reyes Conservation Trust. Their support will significantly enhance the Trust's on-going efforts to pursue preservation opportunities on this jewel of a river."
Kinney reported that the Trust is presently working with landowners on a number of potential conservation easements along the Kings and with Vulcan's support, is looking to finalize them in the coming months. Other landowners in the corridor who are interested in learning more about the benefits of conservation easements are invited to contact El Rio Reyes Conservation Trust.
