Welcome to the Conservancy
The Millican Reserve Land Conservancy stewards a broad expanse of protected land and offers year-round programming that brings people together outdoors. Guided by the belief that time in nature supports both individual and community health, this is where our mission takes root.
Prairies, woodlands, and riparian corridors form the living foundation of Millican Reserve. Through conservation practices and long-term stewardship of this section of Post Oak Savannah, our landscape remains open, active, and healthy.
Native species thrive at Millican Reserve—from migrating birds to whitetail deer to pollinators and prairie grasses. Learn how our team monitors and protects the region’s biodiversity.
More than 30 miles of natural-surface private trails wind through protected habitats, connecting people to the land and each other. Open to hikers, runners, bikers, and equestrians with a TrailPass or Conservancy membership.
The Farm is both a working agricultural operation and a community gathering place. Seasonal produce, educational gardens, and volunteer programs bring people closer to the food—and the land—that sustains them.
Located at the heart of the Reserve, the Stables support horse boarding, lessons, and trail access. Riders of all levels are welcome, with programs that connect people to the land on horseback.
The Boathouse is a quiet destination for paddling, birdwatching, and seasonal events. From early-morning mist to sunset reflections, it’s a private space to experience the stillness and beauty of the water.
Whether you're here to hike, garden, volunteer, or participate in a seasonal event, the Conservancy offers many ways to connect with the land. These experiences are designed to foster community health through hands-on engagement with nature. Explore what’s happening this month.
Miles of scenic, natural-surface trails offer space for movement and reflection. Whether you walk weekly or run daily, the private trails invite you to slow down, move with intention, and experience the land.
Cyclists are welcome on much of the private trail system, with routes suited to both casual riders and experienced mountain bikers. A TrailPass or Conservancy membership is required for access.
Camp Millican is a nature-immersion day camp where kids explore the outdoors, build confidence, and make lasting memories. Sessions fill quickly—learn more about the experience and how to register.
