Forest Legacy Program 

http://txforestservice.tamu.edu/forestlegacy/

          The Forest Legacy Program is a voluntary cooperative effort between the U.S. Forest Service and the State of Texas that protects ecologically important forests threatened by conversion to non-forest uses. The program encourages the voluntary protection of privately owned forestland primarily through the acquisition of conservation easements. These easements are legally binding agreements transferring a negotiated set of property rights (primarily development rights) from one party to another without removing the property from private ownership. Most FLP conservation easements restrict development, require sustainable forestry practices and protect other values.

          Without natural resources we couldn’t survive. Conservation education is vital to ensuring people of all ages understand and appreciate why natural resources like trees, water and animals are important and how to conserve them for future generations. Texas A&M Forest Service strives to educate and inform all Texans on the benefits and conservation of our resources.
