Private Lands and Habitat Program
The goal of the Private Lands and Habitat Program is to provide advice and information to private landowners interested in the conservation and development of wildlife habitat on their property. We invite you to explore the opportunities, seek information, and select the options that will help you attain your land management goals.
TPWD may be able to lease your land for public hunting and other outdoor activities. To learn more:
