The Conservation History Association of Texas welcomes you to Texas Legacy.org, an online archive of video, audio, text, and other materials collected through interviews and correspondence with the people who have shaped and continue to influence the protection of Texas natural resources.  

Texas is unique in its vast diversity of land and resources and those who have sought to protect them come from a multitude of diverse communities and backgrounds. The conservationists involved in this project include politicians, scientists, landowners, citizen advocates, journalists, medical doctors, environmental attorneys, engineers, agency officials, and others from every region of the state.  

The goal of these materials is to promote and recognize the contributions of Texans in the name of conservation. We hope that the people, lives, and works chronicled herein will inform, encourage, and inspire both old and new conservationists in Texas and elsewhere.
