Who We Are,

At Special Areas, we deliver the municipal services our residents depend on, from grading roads to potable water to emergency and enforcement. We manage over 2.5 million acres of public lands, supporting our ratepayers through the administration of community pastures and leasing public lands for grazing and cultivation. We work with partners in the region to support economic development and rural stabilization, and we help visitors reconnect with the land and sky in our recreation areas and campgrounds
