While fences enforce legal boundaries, they also symbolize invisible societal limits.
In Texas, more than 95 percent of land is privately owned, one of the highest rates in the U.S.
Everything Acre & Oak makes & curates is built with the long game in mind.
Access to green spaces in Texas is shaped by public land availability, private land policies, and funding for conservation initiatives. State and national parks, wildlife management areas, and municipal parks provide public access, managed by agencies like Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the National Park Service (NPS). Local governments use zoning laws and parkland dedication requirements to maintain urban green spaces, while federal and state funds support land acquisition and maintenance.With 95% of Texas being privately owned, public access is often limited. Conservation easements, voluntary agreements, and programs like the Texas Public Hunting Program expand opportunities, but funding gaps remain. Initiatives supported by private contributions - like Acre & Oak’s commitment to funding access to green spaces - can help bridge this gap by supporting land acquisition, trail development, and community programs that increase accessibility for underserved areas.
Sustainability practices help maintain Texas' diverse ecosystems by preserving natural resources, supporting biodiversity, and reducing environmental degradation. In grasslands and prairies, sustainable grazing and land management prevent soil erosion, maintain native vegetation, and improve water retention. In forests, responsible logging and controlled burns reduce wildfire risks and support long-term habitat health.For wetlands, sustainable water management protects against drought, conserves aquatic habitats, and improves water quality. In coastal regions, habitat restoration and erosion control help safeguard shorelines from rising sea levels and storms. Across all ecosystems, conservation agriculture, regenerative ranching, and native plant restoration contribute to ecosystem resilience, ensuring long-term land productivity and wildlife sustainability.
Texas protects green spaces through state and federal laws. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Code governs public lands, while programs like the Texas Farm and Ranch Lands Conservation Program (TFRLCP) and Landowner Incentive Program (LIP) support private land conservation. Conservation easements allow landowners to limit development while keeping ownership. Local governments enforce zoning, parkland dedication, and tree protection laws.Federally, the Clean Water Act regulates wetlands and waterways, while the Endangered Species Act protects critical habitats. The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) provides funding for public land acquisition and maintenance. These laws work together to preserve Texas' green spaces.
