Wildlife Management Plan Development
Wildlife management plans are a valuable tool for managing the resources on any property. In Texas, recreational values, which includes all types of hunting, are higher than ever. The plans developed by our land consulting service help set short-term objectives and long-term goals for the type of operation you, the landowner, desires.
Some of the information gathered for the plans includes harvest recommendations, population estimates of game and non-game species, land use analysis, an assessment of the quality and quantity of habitat available, habitat management recommendations, feeding needs and historic land uses.
Wildlife Management Plans in Texas
A wildlife management plan can also be developed to file for the Wildlife Tax Valuation, as detailed in the Texas Constitution, Article VIII, Section 1-d-1. The Wildlife Tax Valuation is commonly referred to as a “wildlife exemption.” This special valuation allows the landowner to maintain an agricultural tax valuation on the property through wildlife management activities.
This situation allows the landowner to maintain the low tax rate afforded by an ag tax valuation without having to deal with traditional agriculture activities, such livestock grazing or farming. A wildlife tax valuation is especially attractive to landowners that find value in native plants and wildlife, but can not be on the property every day, week, or month.
Plans for Land and Wildlife Management
The wildlife management plans created by our land consulting service specifically for your property can also be used for the Managed Lands Deer Permits (MLD Permits); Trap, Transport and Transplant Permits (TTT Permit), Trap, Transport and Process Permits (TTP Permit); and other state and federal programs.
Our aim is to provide you with a real plan, a document that you can use as a resource to guide you to achieving your goals for your property. Save yourself time and money and start with a plan in mind.
