Located in Utah County adjacent to Camp W.G. Williams Army National Guard training area, the Preserve's values identified include conservation interests that range from wildlife and plant habitat to agricultural use to scenic value. Utah Open Lands has identified one natural community which bolsters land used frequently for grazing; a variety of wildlife habitat including ring-necked pheasant, pronghorn antelope, hares and birds of prey.  This land is situated wihtin the area of the current project Eagle Mountain Wildlife Migration Corridor Preservation managed by the DWR's Shane Hill. 

 

The Property was selected for placement under a conservation easement through the Army Compatible Use
Buffer (ACUB) program. This program enables the Army to partner with entities that can assist in ensuring buffer installations that also act in tandem as wildlife conservation areas and prevent development of areas deemed as critical open space.

"Across ACUB Programs at over 40 separate installastions, the Army has protected 390,903 acres (as of 2021) of natural habitat, open space, and working lands through its cooperative agreements with more than 50 partners ranging from large nationwide land trusts, to smaller local conservation entitites, to state and municipal governments." - US Army Environmental Command
