Texas Land Trusts

The Texas Land Trust Council encourages excellence in the Texas land trust community through collaboration, education and outreach. Here you will find useful videos about conservation, land trusts and preserving Texas lands. 

A land trust is a local, state or regional nonprofit conservation organization involved in protecting land for its natural, recreational, scenic, historical, open space or educational value. These trusts actively work to conserve land through fee-simple acquisition or use of a legal tool called a conservation easement that limits the future development potential on a given property. Land trusts are working throughout Texas to assist landowners with their long-term conservation goals.
