 Healthy Land, Better Property
Your land is
special, and you've got a lot invested in it. Preservation Texas provides a complete
line of products and services to help you manage your land and practice good
land stewardship. We've developed a three step process to assist you.
Assessment and Evaluation: How come I don't
have any topsoil? What's erosion? So this dense thicket of cedar isn't
healthy? The first step
is to utilize our Land Assessment Tool to help you understand what is happening
to your land - it has changed a lot over the last 200 years. We'll
identify any threats and work with you to come up with a plan.
Fix What's Broken: Every time it
rains more of my topsoil washes down to my neighbor's property! This
cedar is everywhere - I'm going to
chop it all down! My neighbor's got oak wilt, I've got
to do something! Relax! Many landowners don't even realize
that they might have a problem. You're a step ahead - you already
understand that there are solutions.
Build, Enhance, and Enjoy: I'd like to see
more birds! My wife
would really enjoy a butterfly garden! If I had
more native plants, I wouldn't have to water as much! There's no
reason why you can't create an oasis on your land. And the best part is that you'll get
to enjoy it yourself, and show it off to your neighbors! Whether you want to go ahead with a
full restoration, or just maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities, the
professionals of Preservation Texas are here for you. Click a

Land Restoration
Land in
Texas
has changed over the last 200 years. There are no more wild fires to keep the cedars in the canyons. Cows have overgrazed the native grasses, and
invasive grasses such as KR Bluestem and
Bermuda have been
introduced. Nature’s big game predators
have mostly disappeared, allowing deer populations to explode. Deer eat native plants and trees, so there
are fewer oak saplings growing.
It may not be possible to ever completely restore your land,
but there are many things you can do to make your land healthier and more
beneficial for wildlife, not to mention increasing its value for you.
Preservation
Texas
can work with you to develop a plan to meet your goals. And of course we are here to help you
out. We can tackle brush management and
cedar clearing. A prescribed burn is one
of the best things you can do. Follow
that up with planting native grasses, and you’ll be making smart decisions for
your land. |
