This unique initiative provides rare access to 217,000 acres of South Texas rangeland, where traditional ranching meets cutting-edge conservation. With hands-on experiences guided by the Foundation’s scientists, land managers, and partners, participants discover how sustainable practices support both working cattle operations and thriving wildlife habitats.
