ABSTRACT: Private land conservation and stewardship is critical in Texas, where more than 95% of the land is in private ownership. These partnerships are essential for sustaining fish and wildlife habitats, watershed stability, and ultimately overall ecosystem health and landowner profitability. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, in partnership with other agencies and conservation entities, is providing technical guidance and recommendations for management of upland, riparian, and aquatic habitats and associated species. These partnerships have significantly increased the number of landowners receiving holistic, watershed best management practices and have achieved significant conservation benefits. Successful case studies describing collaborative ongoing workshops targeted to private landowners, on-the-ground technical guidance projects, and specific conservation and restoration projects will be described.
