TxN INITIATIVES

They believe in doing the groundwork that successfully transitions dialogue to ideas, ideas to initiatives, and initiatives to measurable impact for natural resources, people, and prosperity.

TxN PROGRAMS

Their approach is clear: Connect. Convene. Catalyze. TxN connects the brightest minds to the strongest resources. They convene business with conservation to forge valuable relationships that catalyze the most exciting conservation projects benefiting natural resources, people, and prosperity. Texan by Nature makes a unique positive impact by:

Connecting: They connect people and projects with the resources they need to make a significant impact. The leadership and extensive partner network allow them to facilitate innovative investments and research in Texan-led conservation. They develop and broker trusted relationships through their Conservation Partner and Membership programs. These programs act as the foundation to convene the appropriate leaders and catalyze conservation efforts that benefit people, prosperity, and natural resources.

Convening: They bring experts, partners, and members together for action. Their Conservation Summit, Symposia Series, and the Statewide Initiatives drive dialogue, new partnerships, and additional opportunities to replicate conservation projects and programs. Their convening programs build on the connections made with Conservation Partners and Members.

WHY TxN DOES IT

As Texans, it’s in our nature to take care of the wildlife, native habitat, and natural resources that help our economy thrive and help define our identity as Texans. In 2011, Texan by Nature’s founders saw there was great conservation work taking place across the state, but a lack of partnerships and data-based approaches. In a big state where more than 94 percent of land is privately owned, teamwork and targeted strategies are critical to conservation’s success.

Texan by Nature has a vision to align the broad interests of conservation groups with the resources of businesses, health care institutions, schools, the scientific community, and faith-based organizations. By building on the Texan mindset and combining our respective strengths, we can collectively create a positive impact for Texas’ economy, people, and land for generations to come.

TxN TAKES ACTION

Their mission is collaborative. With the help of forward-thinking business leaders, innovative conservation experts, and passionate community members, they can deliver a strong, sustainable, and prosperous future.

TxN knows that our quintessential Lone Star Pride is rooted in our connection to our vast, rich landscapes as unique as every Texan. Whether hiking in Big Bend, gazing at the Hill Country wildflowers, enjoying vast grassland prairies, appreciating urban greenspace, or basking in the towering solitude of the Piney Woods, they believe that it’s in our nature as Texans to take care of the land we love. Texas’s wildlife, native habitat, and natural resources breathe life into our communities and our economy.

Catalyzing: They mobilize resources to support exciting conservation projects in their most critical stages of development. They communicate the importance and impact of Texan-led, science-based conservation. Building on the incredible platform their founder Mrs. Laura Bush has developed, they tell the partners’ success stories and work to touch the hearts and minds of all Texans—from schoolchildren to business leaders. Through Conservation Wrangler, Texan by Nature 20, and TxN Certification programs, they provide resources, recognition, thought leadership, and build capacity to accelerate innovative and replicable conservation in Texas as a model for the globe.

They invite all who share this commitment to conservation, who want to ensure our natural resources continue benefiting our beloved Texas for future generations, to join them as official members of Texan by Nature! With your help, they can provide broader, bolder support for conservation awareness and action across Texas.
