Texas Farm and Ranch Lands Conservation Program is looking for applicants to buy conservation easements on agricultural based lands.

In partnership with Texas Parks and Wildlife, the Texas Farm and Ranch Lands Conservation Program (TFRLCP) is now accepting applicants for grants to buy conservation easements on agricultural lands.

TFRLCP hopes to conserve water, fish and wildlife on land that is in danger of fragmentation and development. Not only does the TFRLCP maintain the productivity of the land, they also enhance it through Agricultural Conservation Easements.

This is possible through interest and awareness for conserving working lands and funded monies that go to high-quality projects, as well as highlighting the value of the land ecologically and economically.

Those interested in more information or applying should email TexasFarmandRanch@tpwd.texas.gov .

The deadline to apply is Feb. 19, 2016.
