Farmland Conservation Easement Donated
At the very end of 2024, Captina Conservancy, closed on its largest agricultural easement to date, protecting 579 acres in Noble County. The Sanford family donated the easement to protect their legacy, a farm assembled and cared for by both the Everly and Sanford families going back more than 200 years. The conservation easement protects prime soils, sweeping hilltop vistas, and headwater streams to Buffalo Creek and Duck Creek in Center Township east of Caldwell.
