A key parcel of farmland just east of the Flathead River has been placed under a conservation easement with the Flathead Land Trust.
“I wanted to protect my land so it wouldn’t be subdivided,” landowner Luci Yeats said last week. “Kind of put my money where my mouth is.”
Yeats and her late husband, Dave, planned on placing the land into an easement, as development pressure east of the river mounted. The land is farmland and woods on 76.5 acres. It often hosts an elk herd in the winter months.
