Fourth-generation rancher Bill Bramlette and family have partnered with the Eastern Sierra Land Trust (ESLT) to ensure a 900-acre section of the Bramlette’s Benton Hot Springs Ranch will remain as undeveloped ranch lands in perpetuity. During a ceremony honoring the conservation easement held Saturday, ESLT Lands Director Karen Ferrell-Ingram, ESLT Vice President Orrin Sage and ESLT Executive Director Larry Freilich (l-r) presided over a commemorative presentation to Bramlette. Additional reporting will be in Thursday’s issue of The Inyo Register. Photo by Ken Koerner
