We’re only able to do what we do because of you.

Every tax-deductible gift supports Pines and Prairies preserves and protected lands, as well as our programs, outreach, operations and further conservation efforts.

Both the steadfast support of our long-time friends and gifts from our new donors are vital to the work we do throughout East Central Texas. Donor giving fuels our critical work of safeguarding our community’s unique natural, scenic, and historical landscapes through conservation and stewardship.

Conserving land is now more important than ever, as the qualities that make east Central Texas such a great place to live are threatened by rapid development. Poorly planned development diminishes our connection to nature, fragments and degrades wildlife habitats, robs future generations of the benefits of healthy ecosystems, and erases family farms and the rural way of life. 

You can make a difference when you support Pines and Prairies Land Trust.

PPLT is the only land trust focused specifically on serving the counties immediately east of Austin, including Bastrop, Caldwell, Fayette, Lee, Leon, Milam, Robertson and Travis Counties. This is where the next wave of development is growing and the threat of urban sprawl is looming ever larger. 

• Your support offers alternatives to fragmenting family farms and wildlife habitats, and through conservation agreements with concerned landowners we can protect our ecosystem and prevent the subdivision and degradation of the special places and open spaces that define the character of Central Texas. 

• Every donation, no matter the size, helps to promote and establish connections to nature in our community through our outreach and programing, access to wild spaces, and education for the next generation of land lovers and earth stewards. 

With your help we can permanently preserve habitats, special places and our idyllic way of life for future generations, as well as form positive memories in nature and strengthen our community’s resolve to protect the land we love. Thanks to donor support, we have already successfully conserved riparian corridors, wildlife habitat, working farms and native prairies.

When you make a gift, your investment guarantees that open spaces, wild places and a working landscape will be part of Central Texas’ way of life - forever.

PPLT is an accredited land trust, which means we employ transparency and trustworthiness in everything we do.
