Years of collaboration
The mission of Logan County Land Trust is to preserve farmland, scenic open space and natural areas to protect the rural character of Logan County; and to foster the long-term sustainability of the agricultural economy and farming as a way of life.
The Logan County Land Trust is honored to share this special conversation with Carol Edmonds and Sheri Heim as they reflect on the life and legacy of Doug Richie — one of the founding visionaries behind the Logan County Land Trust.
"I have always had a passion for the land, and I feel inspired by God to be a good steward of it."
