Hi,
I thought this might be of interest to our group. Perhaps something to
discuss on our call today as a 'blueprint' for eastern grasslands?

NRI releases Texas landowner survey to examine status of working lands and
needs of land managers

The Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute’s Texas Land Trends program
released the 2022 Landowner Survey for landowners who own or operate private
working lands in Texas. This voluntary questionnaire serves to gather
information on the needs, preferences, concerns, and challenges regarding
the everyday management of property that landowners face.

Released once every 5 years, the survey seeks to identify the special
characteristics and values of the diverse people who collectively own and
manage the 141 million acres of privately-owned farms and ranches in Texas.
The program will examine changes in demography, economy and natural
resources of the state.

“Texas working lands are among the most productive farms, ranches, and
energy producers in the country. Since private rural working lands comprise
most of the open space in Texas, private rural landowners and their
management decisions help shape our statewide resources,” said Dr. Roel
Lopez, director of the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute. “Supporting
landowner stewardship makes sense because it helps conserve Texas’ rich
land heritage, vital to the state’s economy.”

The Landowner Survey is divided into six topic areas including Land
Management, Landowner Concerns, Land Loss/Fragmentation, Water, Hunting and
Landowners.

The results are anonymous and will only be presented in an aggregate form;
an example of past data usage can be found in the Texas Land Trends
publication Status Update and Trends of Texas Working Lands 1997–2017.
Presenting this survey once every 5 years allows data scientists to
determine how landowner preferences and needs are changing over time and how
the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute and other natural resource
agencies can work together to better understand and meet those needs.

The questionnaire should take approximately 20–30 minutes to complete and
is mostly multiple-choice questions. For an optimized experience, it is
recommended to take the survey on a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.
Anyone who takes the survey has the chance to enter a raffle to win 1 of 15
Yeti® Texas Land Trends mugs.
