ORGANIZATION: TEXAS LAND CONSERVANCY
Please visit the new page to apply.
Could you use some time in the woods while helping out a great cause at the same time? If so, please consider joining Texas Land Conservancy on a habitat management project Friday February 24 th, 2017 from 9:30-13:00. We will be opening up a long lost trail and removing vegetation along the boundary of our Palmer-Jewert Preserve. Located just to the NW of Terrell, Texas, this unassuming nature preserve dedicated to protecting 30 acres of post oak savannah could use a little "TLC". We will provide hand tools and will have a chipper on-site. If you have chainsaws or weed trimmers please bring them along with your work gloves and boots. For directions and to RSVP please contact Leigh Stuemke at 512-301-6363 or leigh@texaslandconservancy.org
KIND Bars will be available throughout the day for delicious snacks, but please a water bottle.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Texas Land Conservancy is to create a diverse and expanding network of protected natural areas throughout the state by fostering a community of Texans who share a commitment to enhancing our quality of life through land conservation.
Description
Texas Land Conservancy was founded in 1982 by intrepid Dallas attorney Edward C."Ned" Fritz known by many as the Father of Texas Conservation. In response to the increasing demand on land and water for development, Ned realized there was need for a statewide land trust that would take on the preservation of lands both large and small, public and private especially in Texas, where the majority of land was and is still privately owned. Ned gathered a group of grassroots volunteers to establish a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, and the Natural Area Preservation Society (NAPA), now Texas Land Conservancy (TLC), was born. Today, thanks to the foresight of a few individuals, TLC has grown to be one of the oldest and largest land trusts in the state. TLC focuses on projects that are ecologically representative of each of Texas' ten eco-regions, and places high priority on lands connected to critical water resources and are home to threatened or endangered species.
