Summary
The purpose of this project is to protect coastal natural resources with the acquisition of an agricultural conservation easement on 498 acres of Stopover Ranch in Jackson, County Texas. The goal is to continue work with rice farmland landowners to help improve their lands for rice farming and to also provide greatly enhanced habitat for the many species of birds that winter and migrate through this area.
