A Commitment to Conservation
The Texas Wildlife Association was formed in 1985 by a group of ranchers, wildlife managers, and hunters dedicated to the conservation, management, and enhancement of wildlife and wildlife habitat on private lands.
Texas is 95 percent private land, and over two-thirds of the United States is privately owned. Texas hunters, anglers, wildlife watchers, and conservationists recognized the necessity of working cooperatively with private landowners on wildlife, habitat, and conservation issues.
Land Unites Us All
As Texans, we believe in our responsibility to protect our own backyard and conserve our most valuable resources—our land, water, and traditions. As an accredited 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust, the Colorado River Land Trust's service area spans from the high plains in west Texas, through the Hill Country, to the productive farmland and coastal fisheries and wetlands near the Gulf of Mexico.
To maintain the Texas lifestyle we all know and are proud of, we have to protect our home. We have to earn the right to the landscape and its traditions. That all comes with working together to conserve the land that unites us.
