Land Management & Restoration - During 2003-2004, CPC's Board of Directors purchased a majority interest in the historic Warren Ranch, a 6,000-acre working cattle ranch. It's part of CPC's mission to protect the unique scenic, historic, and natural resources on the Katy Prairie. Well-managed farmland shelters wildlife, supplies scenic open space, and helps filter impurities from our air and water. Warren Ranch's agricultural lands offer many other benefits: preservation of natural resources; outdoor recreation, including bird watching, hunting, and nature tours; improved flood protection; economic development through eco-tourism; enhanced wildlife habitat; recharge zones for the area's aquifers; educational field trips for area youth; local food sources; and research opportunities for colleges in ecology and land management.
