Hansen Ranch
Contributing to the iconic viewsheds Spring Gulch from Wyoming Highway 22 and Spring Gulch Road, the easement was a highlight of JHLT’s “Campaign for Our Valley” that culminated in 2003. Conservation at the mouth of Spring Gulch ensures that the working cattle operations which exemplify the area persist for future generations. The juxtaposition of the property’s irrigated meadows and riparian habitats of Spring Creek, with the surrounding butte hillsides makes for excellent wildlife habitat
