Texas Land Conservancy (TLC) is a private land trust dedicated to conserving land in Texas to benefit wildlife and to protect examples of our natural and cultural heritage. To date TLC has protected 100 properties in Texas, with more acquisitions in progress.

TLC works with private landowners to conserve properties that contain wildlife habitat, with unique ecological characteristics, or represent undisturbed eco-types. TLC's conserved lands protect freshwater swamps, bottomland forests, native prairies, cypress-lined bayous, Hill Country canyons, South Texas brush, and desert grasslands.

We host and support a variety of educational and volunteer events. Please visit our Calendar often for a full listing of upcoming activities. You can also become our fan on Facebook! 

Recent Milestone: 100th Property!

We reached a monumental milestone in late 2009 when we completed our 100th conservation project. TLC now protects an impressive 74,527 acres of land in Texas representing seven ecosystems, 57 counties, and countless species of plants and animals. We were thrilled to recently learn that the number of acres we protect puts us in the top 2% of all land trusts in the entire United States. We are very proud to be a conservation leader locally and nationally! Please click HERE to read about our centennial conservation property, the Patroon Mitigation Bank in Sabine County.
