Formed in 2000, originally as the Coastal Bend Wildlife Habitat Education Program, our mission was and continues to raise public awareness and promote wildlife and habitat conservation within Texas. We believe this is a unique project worthy of your consideration and support. The demographics of Texas are changing rapidly. Its population is growing and moving out of rural communities into more urban environments. Landowners are under increasing pressure to convert wildlife habitat and productive farm and ranch land to other uses. Due to this threat of urbanization, our children are growing up with fewer opportunities to get a glimpse of our beautiful wildlife and habitat native to Texas. Our goal is to inspire children of all ages through awareness… to inspire them to want to go outside and see the beauty that is Texas.

Carter Smith, Executive Director of Texas Parks and Wildlife announced that teenagers in Texas spend an average of 48 minutes per week outdoors. It is our hope that we can help turn that around.
