Land and water conservation are essential to a healthy Texas. Our lands protect our water supply, provide habitat for our fish and wildlife, preserve our agricultural heritage, and improve our quality of life. Without those wide open spaces to experience and enjoy, Texas just wouldn’t be Texas.
ABOUT TLTC
Let's Work Together to Conserve Texas Land.
Thankfully, there are non-profit organizations whose purpose is land and water conservation. Texas land trusts conserve natural areas, waterways, and agricultural lands–working in partnership with private landowners and citizens just like you–to preserve Texas for future generations.
Texas land trusts work to conserve Texas’ special lands and waters by permanently protecting them from development for the benefit of the people, economy, and wildlife of our state. By protecting these lands, land trusts help ensure that every Texan has access to clean water, the freedom and peace granted by natural areas, and the opportunity to be physically connected to our natural and cultural heritage.
You can do your part to help conserve Texas land. Join us by making a tax-deductible donation to support Texas land trusts and our collective efforts to protect the lands and waters that give Texans so much.
