Utah - Past Leopold Conservation Award Winners
2008 - Darrell Johnson
One would be hard pressed to find someone more connected to their land than Darrell and Carol Johnson. The Johnson Ranch, in Tooele County, has been part of Darrell’s life for longer than he can remember. He grew up working on the ranch and planned how he would run the operation until he got his opportunity in 1962 when he began to purchase land from his uncles. He partnered with his father, Orson, until 1988.
2007 - Harold Selman Ranches
The fourth generation Harold Selman Ranches has a long tradition of land stewardship, beginning in the 1940s with Harold and Dorthella Selman. Their land ethic was passed on to their son, Fred, who, along with his wife, Laura, and their son, Bret, and his wife, Michelle, continues to manage the ranching operation.
