TPWF said the investment will cost more than $10 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cOpportunities to protect a property like this don\u2019t come along very often, and when they do, timing is critical,\u201d said Anne Brown, TPWF executive director. \u201cTPWF was able to step in and secure this land now so it can ultimately become a place where generations of Texans can enjoy the outdoors. This is a great example of what public-private partnership can accomplish for conservation in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The release said TPWF will hold the property until additional funding for Texas Parks and Wildlife is secured. The transfer of the property is projected in late 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KLTV.
