| Texas Offers Small Acreage Land Management Workshop June 7 |
|
From Texas Parks and Wildlife -- For more than a century, rural Texas land has been owned mainly by farm and ranch families who lived there. In recent decades, the countryside has been fragmented into smaller tracts owned increasingly by former urban dwellers or absentee owners seeking closeness to the remaining pastoral lands of Texas. A workshop to be held June 7 will help West Texas landowners learn more about managing for wildlife habitat on smaller properties between two and 2,000 acres. The workshop is designed to address the growing problem of Texas rural lands being fragmented into smaller tracts, often involving owners who are interested in wildlife conservation but may lack experience in wildlife or land management. Land fragmentation is one of the main threats to wildlife in Texas. It crowds and impairs necessary living space, blocks travel corridors and disrupts access to feeding areas.
