LONE STAR LAND STEWARD: It's time to nominate 
landowners for the recognition they deserve ... details 
ahead on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

The key to healthy habitat and wildlife populations rests 
in the hands of landowners. In Texas, we honor their 
skillful management.

09 -- Lone Star Land Steward is an award program where we 
recognize those landowners in Texas who are doing an 
exemplary job of managing their habitats and their wildlife. 

Linda Campbell oversees the state's Private Lands and 
Public Hunting programs. 

13 -- We have all kinds of focus on these landowners. We have a 
great diversity of people. We have a regional award for each of 
the ten eco-regions. And then we have an overall award, the 
Leopold Conservation Award, for the overall statewide land 
steward.

Nominations for the awards opened June first, and will 
continue until the end of November.

23 -- Nominations can come from the landowners themselves, or 
those that assist them. We will take nominations from any 
member of the public. All of those nominations are evaluated, 
and we do site visited on those. We just want to make sure that 
we hold up those who are doing such an excellent job 
managing the resources of Texas.

Find nomination forms on the TPW website.

The Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program supports 
our series ... and funds the Private Lands and Public 
Hunting programs.
