Welcome to the Conservancy
Welcome to the Conservancy
Conservation is at the heart of what we do. By restoring native habitats and protecting wildlife, we create a thriving environment that supports both nature and people. The Conservancy’s efforts prioritize sustainable practices, fostering connections between the land and those who call this place home. Through collaboration and community-driven initiatives, we ensure that we’re enhancing not only the native ecosystem but also the well-being of its human neighbors. Explore how we’re bringing health, nature, and community together through our work.
The post oak savannah at Millican Reserve is more than just a beautiful setting—it’s an essential part of the region’s natural heritage. The Conservancy works to protect this land from fragmentation, restore native habitats, and ensure it remains a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Through thoughtful stewardship, we balance conservation with responsible access, creating spaces where people and nature can coexist. Learn how we care for the land and why its protection matters.
The land is only as healthy as the wildlife that calls it home. From birds and pollinators to deer and native fish, every species plays a role in maintaining the balance of the post oak savannah. The Conservancy works to protect these habitats, monitor wildlife populations, and support biodiversity through conservation efforts and research. By maintaining a healthy ecosystem, we also create a stronger, more resilient landscape that benefits both wildlife and the community. Explore how we’re ensuring that wildlife continues to thrive for generations to come.
Understanding the land is the first step in protecting it. The Conservancy partners with universities, conservation groups, and local experts to support research on habitat restoration, wildlife populations, and sustainable land management. These studies help guide conservation efforts and inform best practices for preserving the post oak savannah. By supporting research opportunities, we ensure that decisions about the land are based on science, creating a stronger, healthier environment for the future.
The Brazos Valley has a long history of people living in relationship with the land. From traditional land stewardship to locally inspired architecture, the region’s heritage reflects a deep connection between design, conservation, and place. The Conservancy carries this legacy forward by promoting planning and building practices that respect the landscape while supporting a healthy, sustainable community. Explore how the past informs our approach to conservation today.
