a <br /> Sara F. Hebbert <br /> 3615 CR 137 <br /> Westcliffe, CO 81252 <br /> Charles Bedford,Director <br /> Colorado State Land Board <br /> 1313 Sherman St.,Rm. 620 <br /> Denver,CO 80203 <br /> Dear Mr. Bedford, <br /> I am writing to ask you to seriously consider the nomination being submitted by the <br /> San Isabel Foundation. Specifically Section 16; T24S; R70W Blue Spring is being nominated <br /> to the Stewardship Trust. Custer County continues down a path of rapid growth, subdivision, <br /> and development. Open space,wildlife habitat and agricultural land are quickly becoming rare <br /> commodities. I represent the fourth generation of our ranching family and realize that with this <br /> level of development our rural culture could easily become threatened and endangered <br /> species. As an agriculturist and conservationist,I know we must take positive steps to ensure a <br /> balance of growth and conservation that rural and urban folks can live with. This Stewardship <br /> Trust will help us take a positive step. <br /> This particular parcel supports a diverse wildlife population, provides an open space <br /> buffer from development, is utilized for livestock grazing, and borders the San Isabel National <br /> Forest. It is very important that this mullet-use piece of ground is protected from encroaching <br /> development and given a fighting chance to remain open and productive for agriculture, <br /> wildlife, and those residents who recognize how truly valuable open spaces are to the quality <br /> of life for all. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Sara F. Hebbert <br /> San Isabel Ranch <br />
