WARM SPRINGS RANCH IS THE LAST SIGNIFICANT OPEN SPACE WITHIN THE CITY OF KETCHUM AND HAS BEEN USED BY THE COMMUNITY INFORMALLY AS AN OFF-LEASH DOG PARK AND NATURE AREA. THIS FISCAL YEAR, WRLT CONTRIBUTED TO THE CITY OF KETCHUM'S SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY TO FOREVER BE MAINTAINED AS A PUBLIC PARK. WRLT WILL WORK WITH THE CITY OF KETCHUM TO CREATE ADDITIONAL AMENITIES TO ENHANCE RECREATIONAL AMENITIES WITHIN THE PARK, AND RESTORE 1 MILE OF WARM SPRINGS CREEK AS IT FLOWS THROUGH THE PROPERTY.
