The Role of Private Land Stewardship in Texas Conservation

Friday, October 21

Ninety-five percent of the land in Texas is privately held, which means private land owners play an outsized role in determining the future conservation of the wild places and wildlife of the Lone Star State. This one-day conference will look at private land conservation practices and strategies through a variety of lenses, with panel discussions on private land management, water conservation, wildfires, and more.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller will deliver a keynote address during lunch, which will be provided to attendees.

The DSO and EarthX Film are excited to present the U.S. premiere of The Way of the Rain – Hope for Earth, a multidisciplinary environmental performance created for orchestra, chorus, film, art, and with a special narration by Robert Redford.
