2019 Leopold Conservation Award: Killam Duval County Ranch

Killam Duval County Ranch
Thoughtfully managed and cared for, the Killam Duval County Ranch is a real working ranch that is successfully making its own way through cattle ranching and hunting leases. When the ranch was purchased in the 1990’s it was mostly mesquite and bare ground. At 125,000 acres, on a scale much larger than most ranches, they have implemented planned grazing and strategic brush management resulting in habitat that is now thriving for both wildlife and cattle. Given in honor of renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold, the prestigious Leopold Conservation Award is conferred each year by Sand County Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to private land conservation, in partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Lone Star Land Steward Awards program. In Texas, the Leopold Conservation Award Program is sponsored by the Lee and Ramona Bass Foundation, DuPont Pioneer and The Mosaic Company. For more information:
