RECREATIONAL LANDOWNERS, 2: Help learning about your 
new land ... we'll explain on Passport to Texas ... 
____________________________________________________________

Passport to Texas ... from Texas Parks and Wildlife and 
the Wildlife Restoration Program ... 

The best time to get to know your land is when you first 
buy it. 

Walk it; look at it carefully. Study it over the seasons. Really find out 
what makes it tick. And, that's the first step - to really understand the 
land - and then understand the management that it takes to achieve 
the kind of goals you want for your recreation. :16

Linda Campbell directs the private lands program at 
Texas Parks and Wildlife that assists landowners to 
achieve their land management goals. She recommends 
getting started by visiting the workshop calendar - in the 
private lands section - on the TPWD website.

These are workshops and field days and things of that nature that 
occur all over the state. And so I would suggest landowners take a look 
at that. :07

Attending these events allows landowners to get to know 
other like-minded people in their region. The agency also 
offers free on site technical assistance in wildlife 
management planning. 

And so, we look at the entire picture - all the habitats that are there, 
what can be done, what are the landowners goals, and then we help 
them develop a plan that will help them achieve that. :10

Tomorrow, joining with adjacent landowners to form a 
wildlife management association.

Our show's supported by the Wildlife Restoration 
Program ... providing funding for the Private Lands and 
Habitat Enhancement Program.
