Al and Barb Johnson have witnessed the changing landscape of the West firsthand on their ranch, and in the surrounding area.

Their land isn’t just home to a leased cattle operation, but also is used as winter range and during migration by hundreds of deer, elk, and moose. With that in mind — and faced with encroaching subdivisions — the Johnsons decided to take legal measures to keep their property a working ranch and wildlife habitat for future generations.
