Tomorrow, Jesse Womack & Augie McCan will lace up for 30 miles across the Goliad Prairie, running to raise awareness for Texas’ disappearing working lands. It’s only fitting that this week, for National Ag Day, we celebrate the farmers, ranchers, and land stewards who keep Texas fed, fueled, and moving. Agriculture depends on land—land that is vanishing every day. Let’s stand with those who work the land and ensure Texas’ wide-open spaces remain for future generations.

On March 22nd, Jesse Womack & Augie McCan are running a combined 30 miles across the historic Goliad Prairie to raise awareness for Texas’ disappearing open spaces.

There’s nothing greener than Texas’ native grasslands, but they’re disappearing fast. Once 500,000 acres strong, the Goliad Prairie is now at risk—threatening water quality, wildlife, and Texas’ ranching heritage. Jesse Womack & Augie McCan are running 30 miles across this historic landscape to raise awareness and funds for conservation. Let’s help keep Texas wild, working, and GREEN for generations to come! ?? Feeling lucky? Make a donation today to protect what’s left! https://lnkd.in/giMtVBgV

Goliad Prairie is a conservation priority—and it’s disappearing fast. This native Gulf Coast prairie once stretched across 500,000 acres. Today? It’s fragmented, developed, and at risk of being lost forever. Why does it matter? ? Water conservation – These grasslands help retain & filter water. ? Wildlife habitat – Quail, deer, and pollinators depend on native prairies. ? Carbon storage – Healthy prairies store carbon, improving air quality. That’s why Jesse Womack & Auggie McCan are running 30 miles on March 22nd through this historic landscape—to raise awareness & funds to protect what’s left. Donate now through March 31st to show your support of these conservation efforts. https://lnkd.in/giMtVBgV

Keeping Texas’ rural lands in private hands and under responsible management is key to conserving the state’s natural resources. At TALT, we are dedicated to protecting working lands, recognizing that agriculture in Texas includes a diverse range of activities, from traditional farming and ranching to wildlife management. We work with landowners to explore conservation easements that align with their goals, ensuring their land remains intact and productive for future generations.

Every hour, 42.6 acres of Texas land disappear—taking with it critical wildlife habitat, water resources, and the open spaces that define our state. Conservation isn’t just about protecting land—it’s about preserving a way of life.
