Central Texas lands and wildlife need you now more than ever.

Every acre we protect, and every additional habitat we restore brings us closer to a future where nature and community can thrive side by side.

Our open spaces are more than just beautiful places  -  they are the heart of our community. From our shared history, to the working lands that feed us, to the cool comfort of the shade below heritage oaks, protecting nature protects our future.

But that future is under pressure.  Rapid development, loss of farmland and wildlife habitat, and a warming climate threaten what we love most about Central Texas.

Your gift today can be the difference.

  • Preserve Scenic and Historic Landscapes
    Ensure the places that hold our region’s beauty, heritage and stories remain unspoiled for generations. Your support offers alternatives to fragmenting family farms and wildlife habitats.

  • Safeguard the Wild Places that Inspire Us
    Support wildlife habitat restoration, biodiversity protection, and conservation easements that keep wild places intact for generations to appreciate, learn from, and love.

  • Strengthen Community Resilience
    Conservation supports clean air, flood mitigation, food security and climate resilience - protecting land means protecting our future.

 
 

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 our home. Let’s protect it, together.  

Thanks to donor support, we have already successfully conserved riparian corridors, wildlife habitat, working farms and native prairies - laying the groundwork for a healthier, more connected Central Texas.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps deepen our community’s connection to nature through outreach, volunteer projects, and free educational programs for youth and families. 

With your help we can permanently preserve habitats, special places and our idyllic way of life for future generations.

Together, we can protect what we love - forever.
