We protect Texas
Who We Are
Land unites us all
As Texans, we believe in our responsibility to protect our own backyard and conserve our most valuable resources—our land, water, and traditions. As an accredited 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust, our service area spans from the high plains in west Texas, through the Hill Country, to the productive farmland and coastal fisheries and wetlands near the Gulf of Mexico.
To maintain the Texas lifestyle we all know and are proud of, we have to protect our home. We have to earn the right to the landscape and its traditions. That all comes with working together to conserve the land that unites us.
Our Team
Colorado River Land Trust is governed by a board of directors comprised of volunteers from varying professional backgrounds and powered by an experienced, driven staff.
TEXAS EARNED
We believe that Texas makes us better. That Texas is a privilege. And Texas is earned. This means it’s our duty to maintain and conserve Texas—our home. Just like the certainty that the land will continue to change and our rivers will keep on flowing, one thing we can guarantee: the work of Colorado River Land Trust is rooted in forever.

A 2006 throwback with these pictures, and the love for the hunt still stands! Until next turkey season, we’re just as sad as you are! 🦃🦃🦃
Bonus points if you can guess which team member this is from back in the day…

The Matagorda Cattle Drive is nothing short of amazing! For over a century, twice a year, Huebner Catlle Company has driven its cattle from a pasture on the Matagorda Peninsula to a family ranch just south of Bay City, Texas. Cowboys on horseback guide the herd across miles of coastal prairie, navigating tides, weather, and rugged terrain along the way. This is a story that’s worth the read!

Land. The Lone Star State leads the nation in total numbers of farms, ranches and livestock production. From cattle to cotton, we conserve farmland, water, and wildlife habitat by working closely with ranchers and farmers to protect Texas.

Water. The Colorado River is the largest in the nation that begins and ends in the same state—Texas. This vast river supplies drinking water to millions of people each year, offers unmatched recreational opportunities, and provides critical wildlife habitat. The Colorado River, along with the surrounding tributaries, waterways, and wetlands, is the lifeblood of Texas.

Traditions. Land conservation protects the natural resources, habitat, and landscapes on which wildlife and outdoor recreation depend. Protecting it today ensures it will be here for future generations of hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
