Led By Landowners

To ensure that the focus of the Texas Agricultural Land Trust does not waiver from its mission of protecting agricultural lands and native wildlife habitats, TALT by-laws require that the Board members be chosen from the membership of several of the state’s leading agricultural, hunting and landowner organizations. TALT Board members own land themselves, and therefore understand the challenges of protecting land in perpetuity while ensuring its long-term economic vitality.

  • “The people of TALT understand the people of the land because they come from the land themselves. As a rancher, it’s comforting to find a group of people who inherently understand our goals, our challenges, and the value of maintaining our way of life.”

  • “Mitigation banking and conservation easements are complicated; TALT’s staff was incredible,” Wilson said. “Plus, TALT was founded to work with agricultural producers. We have been—and always will be—primarily beef producers. TALT understands what we do.”

  • “We’ve had a wonderful experience with TALT’s staff, from the very beginning,” said Joe. “They worked with us to be sure our needs would be met, and they were all so professional. It just gives us a feeling of confidence that they will be around for a long, long time.”

  • “They are straight shooters at TALT, and we were able to work through some of the issues that I was concerned about,” he said. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, and that’s a good thing.”

  • “TALT was recommended to me because it has a good reputation for accomplishing the goals I wanted to achieve for my land,” Moulton said. “Throughout the process, the staff worked to make sure my expectations were realistic, my needs were met and that I was thinking through every eventuality clearly, so that I didn’t inadvertently paint myself into a corner.”
