Monarch Ranch
Elements of the Chihuahuan Desert, Edwards Plateau and Tamaulipan Thornscrub along with deep river basin soils converge to create the ecologically stunning Monarch Ranch. The 19,000+ acre property located along five pristine miles of the Devil’s River shows evidence of human habitation dating back more than 5,000 years, including remnants of historic Fort Hudson. Its tributaries, springs and riparian woodlands continue to support an astounding diversity of wildlife, native vegetation, and recreational opportunities.
Cherokee Ridge Farm
With its rolling terrain of native pine stands, open meadows, and more than 1,300 acres of mature, biologically rich bottomland hardwood forests along the Angelina River, Cherokee Ridge embodies what authors Joe Truett and Daniel Lay characterized as the “Land of Bears and Honey” in their critically-acclaimed natural history of East Texas published in 1984. At 3,496 acres, Cherokee ridge provides a glimpse of the Piney Woods ecoregion so rich in natural resources that it has allowed human populations and diverse industries to thrive for thousands of years.
Mustang Creek Ranch
Located on the doorstep of the rapidly expanding Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Mustang Creek is a headwater stream of the Trinity Basin, one of the most politically and ecologically significant basins within Texas. This proposed mitigation bank will result in the restoration, creation, enhancement, and permanent protection of approximately 30,000 linear feet of intermittent streams and associated riparian habitats along Mustang Creek.
