Description
This secluded ranch sits just south of the Continental Divide in beautiful Eastern Idaho. The ranch is bounded by TNC's Crooked Creek Preserve, BLM lands and Targhee National Forest. Two streams cross the property, which is prime habitat for sage grouse, pronghorn, and elk.

Primary Conservation Objective
Protection of high quality upland game habitat. Restoration of the riparian community on Myers and Crooked Creeks and of degraded areas of sagebrush steppe habitat for greater sage grouse, pronghorn, and other species.

Biodiversity Highlights
Myers Creek, Crooked Creek and their riparian communities are recognized as essential habitat for sage grouse and pronghorn. The area is considered by Idaho Fish and Game and the Bureau of Land Management to be one of Idaho's few remaining strongholds for sage grouse. The valley is a recognized migratory corridor and winter range for ungulates and is home to a local elk herd.
