Nature Conservancy transfers land to Iowa Tribe

The Nature Conservancy in Nebraska recently transferred 160 acres of Richardson County bluff land to the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. One of the goals of the Executive Committee of the Iowa Tribe is to regain as much of the reservation as we can. Unfortunately, most of the time it comes with a price tag. We are honored and thankful to The Nature Conservancy for giving us some of our land back. The Nature Conservancy and the Iowa Tribe agreed to a conservation easement, which prevents development that would be incompatible with the ecological value of the land. This is an aerial view of the property.
