The Blue Hole in Wimberley, Texas, is a popular swimming spot and regional park that has been preserved since 2003 with sustainable features like rainwater systems. Nearby, Jacob’s Well Natural Area offers hiking, birding, and swimming, with reservations required for access to the spring.

The 2022 drought was the worst in Texas since 2011, causing major economic and health problems. As the state’s population grows, water shortages could become a bigger issue, but conservation efforts offer hope for the future.

Texas’ vast forests and woodlands require careful management to prevent soil and water resource degradation, with Best Management Practices (BMPs) serving as essential voluntary conservation techniques to protect these resources while enhancing land productivity and ecosystem health.

Long-term care of private land in Texas, supported by organizations like Texas A&M Forest Service and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, promotes sustainable land stewardship through tailored plans and conservation practices that enhance water quality, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem health.

Texas’ forests and woodlands, covering over 60 million acres, rely on Best Management Practices (BMPs) to protect soil and water resources, with support from organizations like the Texas A&M Forest Service and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority.

This app is a support tool that assists potential or new landowners during the initial stages of acquiring or owning property by providing management information and resources based on property goals selected.
