Conservation Values Protected: The protected property is located within a priority conservation area for oak woodlands and provides habitat for several imperiled species and plant communities. The property contains high quality native upland prairie habitat and oak woodlands, both identified as rare plant communities in the Willamette Valley and identified in the Oregon Conservation Strategy. Consequently, the property provides habitat for wildlife and plant species and several migratory and resident bird species such as the Acorn woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus), StreakedÂhomed lark (Eremophila alpestris strigata), and White-breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis). The property also provides a scenic resource due to its location along Highway 20, a major roadway connecting the Willamette Valley to the Oregon coast. The grantor and Greenbelt Land Trust will work to assure that the open space values created by the working landscape and the plant and wildlife associated with the rangeland environment of the property will be conserved and sustained forever as provided herein, and that uses of the land that are inconsistent with these conservation values will be prevented or corrected. This easement will create certain restrictive covenants and equitable servitude for the benefit of Greenbelt Land Trust in gross which will bind and run with the property and will extinguish irrevocably and perpetually the right to develop the property (except in designated areas) or to carry out activities that could harm the agricultural, open space and wildlife values on the land, except as expressly permitted in this easement.
