California family’s 6,625-acre cattle ranch protected after 112 years

 The Kinsey family has strategically safeguarded their vast 6,625-acre ranch in Benbow, California, by implementing a conservation easement. This crucial step preserves the land’s agricultural, forest, and wildlife values, ensuring the ranch’s ongoing functionality while protecting vital habitats for endangered species. David Johnson, a family member, was instrumental in this initiative, with the Northcoast Regional Land Trust planning to acknowledge their dedication to conservation this coming October. The Kinsey family has strategically safeguarded their vast 6,625-acre ranch in Benbow, California, by implementing a conservation easement.
