Endowment for Land Stewardship


Honoring a Legacy of Conservation

The Tom Martine Endowment for Land Stewardship honors the vision and leadership of founding board member Tom Martine, a lifelong advocate for Texas land and water.

From his 16-year service on the board of the Lower Colorado River Authority to placing his own TM Ranch under a conservation easement, Tom’s legacy is one of foresight, stewardship, and deep commitment to protecting not only the Hill Country he calls home but the entire state of Texas for generations to come.

About the Fund

Spotlight: TM Ranch – A Conservation Legacy

Nestled along nearly half a mile of Cypress Creek, TM Ranch exemplifies Tom’s passion for land and wildlife stewardship. What began as 215 acres of overgrown land in Blanco County has, through four decades of restoration and careful management, become a premier destination for hunters, anglers, and conservationists alike.

Through a conservation easement with Colorado River Land Trust, TM Ranch’s scenic landscapes, abundant wildlife, and sporting traditions will remain protected forever.
