Through East Foundation’s Behind the Gates program, visitors step inside one of Texas’ largest private conservation areas. 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.
