A property along the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country has been protected through a conservation easement to protect the Edwards Aquifer and its sensitive watershedInfrastructure. The word usually brings to mind things made of metal and concrete — highways, bridges, dams, pipelines, utilities — the human-made structures and facilities of the modern world that provide us with transportation, energy, communication, flood control and water.
, as a resource to spotlight where and how natural infrastructure provides value to the natural resources of the Hill Country and its communities. Private landowners are under increasing pressure to sell or subdivide their land due to the costs of maintaining the land, development pressure and a lack of awareness that care for the water and land infrastructure of our beloved Hill Country serves us all.
Conservation easements can ensure the long-term protection of natural resources on private lands. They are voluntary agreements with private landowners who want to ensure that their land will remain permanently intact and protected. These agreements allow for ongoing use for agriculture, wildlife management and recreation, including hunting and fishing. Easements allow for residential use by the landowners with some including rights to additional residences for future generations.
