FEATURED EVENT

Working Lands Innovation Summit

October 10, 2024
Birdwell & Clark Ranch
Henrietta, TX

Experience a unique milestone in conservation at The Working Lands Innovation Summit, proudly hosted by the Texas Agricultural Land Trust. Breaking barriers, this year’s summit opens its doors to all who share our commitment to preserving Texas’s natural heritage. Landowners, industry leaders, and stakeholders alike are invited to join us for an insightful discussion on progress and challenges ahead.

Together, let’s pave the way for the next generation of land stewards.

  • “The people of TALT understand the people of the land because they come from the land themselves. As a rancher, it’s comforting to find a group of people who inherently understand our goals, our challenges, and the value of maintaining our way of life.”

  • “Mitigation banking and conservation easements are complicated; TALT’s staff was incredible,” Wilson said. “Plus, TALT was founded to work with agricultural producers. We have been—and always will be—primarily beef producers. TALT understands what we do.”

  • “We’ve had a wonderful experience with TALT’s staff, from the very beginning,” said Joe. “They worked with us to be sure our needs would be met, and they were all so professional. It just gives us a feeling of confidence that they will be around for a long, long time.”

  • “They are straight shooters at TALT, and we were able to work through some of the issues that I was concerned about,” he said. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, and that’s a good thing.”

    Andrew Walker, Owner of JTW Ranch, Conservation Easement Donor

  • “TALT was recommended to me because it has a good reputation for accomplishing the goals I wanted to achieve for my land,” Moulton said. “Throughout the process, the staff worked to make sure my expectations were realistic, my needs were met and that I was thinking through every eventuality clearly, so that I didn’t inadvertently paint myself into a corner.”

TALT’s impact…
by the numbers.

TALT’s conservation easements protect lots of open space. But we don’t measure our success merely by acres. Each of our conservation easements are unique, and work to not only protect acres of land, but family legacies, too. Our work also supports rural communities, areas of our state that rely on agriculture and working lands for thriving economies.

  • We conserve land, but more importantly, family legacies. We have had the privilege of helping 47 families preserve their legacies.

  • Since 2007, TALT has helped land stewards conserve over 280,000 acres of Texas land.

  • TALT protects important habitat that may support as many as 632 species of plants and animals in need of conservation across the state of Texas.

  • TALT-held easements conserve over 76-billion gallons of water annually. That's enough water to fill Kemp Lake!

OUR FOUNDING PARTNERS

Created by landowners for landowners.

Concerned that Texas is losing its rural lands faster than any other state in the country, leaders of Texas’ statewide agricultural, wildlife, and landowner organizations came together in 2007 to create the Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT).
