LAND STEWARD NOMINATIONS: Nominate a private 
landowner for this prestigious award... details on 
Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

Texas Parks and Wildlife recognizes and honors private 
landowners for habitat management and wildlife 
conservation with the Lone Star Land Steward Awards 
Program.

A land steward is just somebody who just manages and takes 
care of their land. These folks are very committed to 
conservation, and maintaining healthy lands under their 
management. :11

Linda Campbell is program director for private lands and 
public hunting.

Each year we open the nominations in June, and anybody can 
nominate a landowner for recognition in Lone Star Land Steward. 
So we receive nominations through November. Our biologists in 
each of the eco-regions visit each of the nominees, and then 
make a recommendation to those that should be awarded the 
Lone Star Land Steward award for that eco-region. :20
 
Biologists visit nominated landowners who have managed 
their property for a minimum of 5 years, to evaluate their 
practices.

They talk with the landowner or the manager. They try to evaluate 
what types of management actions that they are undertaking. 
They look at their motivations and really what makes them special 
in terms of taking care of the resources under their control. :17

Find nomination forms on the Texas parks and Wildlife 
website.

Our show receives support from the Wildlife Restoration 
Program... providing funding for the Private Lands and 
Public Hunting Program.
