TPW TV—LSLS PARKS RANCH: A Cattle operation that 
takes habitat and wildlife into account…ahead on 
Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas (September 15)

Before we domesticated livestock, the land and 
water belonged to wildlife. Cattle took a toll on this 
habitat; but thanks to the efforts of landowners like 
David Crow, cattle and conservation coexist.

07—The ranch is our factory. The cattle are a part of the 
factory. The wildlife’s part of the factory. And everything 
has to click together.

Crow operates the 5,600-acre Parks Ranch in Goliad 
County, and keeps the needs of wildlife top of mind.

09—I think one of the biggest detractors to wildlife is 
fragmentation of habitat. To be able to hold this ranch 
together is extremely important.

A 2016 LSLS award-winner in the Gulf Prairies & 
Marshes region, Crow uses a variety of techniques 
to create greater density of native grasslands, 
which supports better diversity of native wildlife.

07—I’m pleased that my son has chosen his career in this 
business as well, because that means at least we’re good 
for another generation.

Witness the success of Parks Ranch on the TPW TV 
series next week on PBS. Check your local listings.

The Wildlife Restoration program supports our 
series.
