Wildlife Management Areas are public lands that focus on 
the research and conservation of a particular region of 
Texas. Biologists and others use these areas to educate 
land owners on how to better manage their properties.

Most of the ecological regions in the state have a wildlife management 
area designated as a research and demonstration area. These areas 
provide us with the ability to research wildlife populations, different 
management techniques, and tools specific to those different ecological 
areas. 
 
Dale Prochaska, Kerr Wildlife Management Area biologist.

Aldo Leopold is known as the father of modern wildlife management. In 
1933, Leopold wrote the central thesis of game management is that 
'game can be restored by the creative use of the same tools which 
heretofore destroyed it- the ax, plow, cow, fire, and gun.' The way that 
we approach our management program is that we properly apply these 
tools to the land to provide for better wildlife habitat, overall range 
conditions, and ultimately healthier ecosystems that serve not only 
wildlife species, but people as well.
