- Wildlife - provides non-fragmented migration corridors, habitat and preying grounds for deer, owls, raptors, vultures, bats, coyote, and the occasional bear
- Aesthetics – preserves mountain backdrop from many viewpoints
- Recreation & health - convenient public access to adjacent urban and foot hills trails networks that contribute to decreasing health care costs through active citizenry
- Heritage – site of an old US Army fort, native Washoe ancient culture habitation, and historical agricultural ranch/ecological resource
- Environmental - protects water resources, flood dissipation, less fossil fuels relative to development , riparian (stream & wetland) habitat
- Size – large, contiguous lands are rare and provide greater quality benefit than smaller, dispersed areas
- Social - how do you like the view? would you like to hang and recreate there? community connections are critical to smart growth!
