Schwartz top Lone Star Land
Steward for South Texas
AUSTIN—Any rancher or farmer
in Texas will confirm they are good
land stewards-it's a trait that goes
with the deed to the place. Some
might also confide that their
commitment to the land has for the
most part gone unnoticcd-until
now.
Twenty-six landowners,
representing all 10 of the state's
ecological zones, were recognized as
Lone Star Land Stewards of Texas
natural resources during a special
reception here at the State Capitol
on April 24. The representatives
are the first to be honored in the
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department's (TPWD) new
statewide landowner recognition
program, the Lone Star Land
Steward Awards.
Of the 26 award recipients, 10
were named Outstanding Lone Star
I^and Stewards for the 10 respective
ecological regions, and one was
honored as the statewide winner.
The North Central Fayette county
Wildlife Management cooperative,
and association of some 125
landowners with over 25,000 acres
between them, has been named the
state's top Lone Star Land Steward
for 1996.
Dr. Gary Schwartz, who owns
the 11,700-acre El Tecomate Ranch
in Starr and Jim Hogg counties,
was named the top Lone Star Land
Steward Award winner for the south
Texas ecological region.
Among the wildlife habitat
management practices implemented
on the El Tecomate include 300
acres of food plots, rotational cattle
grazing regimes, reseeding of native
grasses and mechanical brush
control to create maximum "edge
effect."
Schwartz has also hosted research
on numerous types of food plot
plants in cooperation with Texas
A&M University, Kingsvillc and

At a time when urban demands
and financial strains have caused
fragmentation of the lard, cutting it
up into smaller and smaller tracts,
landowners arc finding it tough to
maintain their stewardship heritage.
"In recent decades, with more of
our Texas population shifting from
rural to urban areas, fewer people
understand the concept of actively
managing and conserving ecological
resources, a responsibility which
has historically rested with rural
landowners," said Andrew Sansom,
TPWD executive director. "And,
as the ability of private landowners
to manage and to hold their
property is more and more
threatened, we need to reinforce
them. The Lone Star Land Steward
Awards program is a way to
recognize their dedication."
Landowners are the key to
effective wildlife conservation in
Texas where 97 percent of the land
is privately owned. With that
realization, Texas Parka and
Wildlife Department (TPWD)
wildlife biologists gave free
technical assistance to about 1,700
private landowners last year on
about 13.5 million acres. That's
five times more 1 andowners and
nine time more land than the
previous 20-year average.
The Lone Star Land Steward
Awards were create to recognize and
honor private landowners for their
accomplishments in habitat
management and wildlife
conservation.
The Texas Private Lands
Advisory Board set up by TPWD in
1992 had identified the need to
recognize outstanding land
stcwarship in Texas. the 17-
membcr board is composed of
landowners from all areas of the
state.
"I think it's important to
recognize these people so we don't
lose sight of the fact that it's
people that save the planet,"
explained Joseph Fitzsimons,
Private Lands Advisory Board
chairman. "They grow what we
eat, what we wear, the wildlife we
enjoy. However you may enjoy the
outdoors, it's people that make it
possible. It's active management
on being accepted and are open to
any Texas landowner working for
wildlife. For more information call
