GuadalupeNFCA Objectives
This work will establish connections with Comal County land owners and determine their attitude toward conservation. Project partners will focus on those identified as priorities by Great Springs Project and Siglo group, with a focus on contiguity. GSP will educate the landowners on the mutual benefits of land preservation as well as the options available to them. This work benefits all land conservation efforts in and around the Guadalupe River Basin.
Measurable outcomes will be increased landowner interest in conservation easements, making progress toward securing land preservation, and, optimally, several conservation wins!
