Longview Ranch Partners with Bureau of Land Management to Develop Spring

Located along Central Oregon’s historic Route 19 in Kimberly, Longview Ranch maintains 30,000 stunning acres of diverse landscape. With three tributaries of the John Day River sharing annual steelhead runs, Longview Ranch also manages 25,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grazing grounds.

While Longview Ranch has served as a longtime partner to BLM, the two organizations have taken their collaboration one step further in the development of a spring for cattle and wildlife. BLM will supply all materials needed, and Longview Ranch will provide the labor. 

The main goal of the project is to ensure the spring stays running for years to come. The team at Longview Ranch will install a spring box and fencing surrounding the spring to ensure the animals do not stomp in and around the water source. Longview Ranch will also pipe the spring to a water trough where water will trickle for animal consumption.
