LANDOWNER OPPORTUNITIES

Conservation Easement Funding

The Camp Bullis Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) is seeking voluntary landowners interested in permanently protecting their natural resources and agricultural lands from development with a tailored conservation easement. Agriculture, wildlife habitat, and open spaces are compatible land uses that protect the mission and training capabilities of Joint Base San Antonio - Camp Bullis.

 

$1.9 million in funding is available for conservation easements, which conserve water resources, agricultural productivity, wildlife habitat, and dark skies.

​

Who Can Apply?

Within the project area, private landowners interested in preserving their property in perpetuity can apply. Funding is limited. Priority will be based on proximity to Camp Bullis, development threat, connectivity to other conserved lands, and ecologically important elements like waterways and karst features.
