With our conservation partners, including Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service (and many others), we work to fill gaps in capacity and funding for implementing critically important habitat restoration and enhancement projects that support birds, other wildlife, and people. We propose to scale up these efforts by working with additional private landowners to conduct grassland and riparian/wetland restoration and enhancement activities on at least 1,000 acres in the Trans-Pecos region and South Texas, across a significant portion of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s ConocoPhillips SPIRIT of Conservation Program’s focal areas.
