MARKET REPORT<br />
FIND OUT WHAT YOUR LAND IS REALLY WORTH<br />
State-Certified, Accredited Rural<br />
Appraisers Specialize in Ag Property<br />
hances are you have visited your family doctor about<br />
some vague health issues, only to be referred to a specialist<br />
when the GP realized you needed expertise in a<br />
particular area of medicine.<br />
A similar situation can occur when you need a rural real estate<br />
appraisal, but start with someone whose expertise in land<br />
valuation ends at the city limits.<br />
According to Bill Beam of Western Appraisal LLC in Abilene,<br />
when dealing with rural real estate, it pays to work from the<br />
outset with an appraiser who is familiar with your geographic<br />
area and specializes in appraising your type of property.<br />
“We are seeing more and more special-use clients, who have<br />
unusual and complicated situations,” says Beam, who is past<br />
president of the Texas chapter of the American Society of Farm<br />
Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA). He reports also<br />
that it’s not unusual “to do follow-up” for clients who did not<br />
start with a rural appraisal specialist.<br />
ASFMRA members focus on rural property and the agricultural<br />
industry. Their work generally involves real estate sales and<br />
purchases, estate planning, division of property in inheritance<br />
situations and income tax cases.<br />
“Lenders use appraisals to decide how much to lend on real<br />
estate, but appraisals serve many other purposes, as well,” says<br />
Jimmy Chambers, chief executive officer of Central Texas Farm<br />
Credit, headquartered in Coleman.<br />
“For example, real estate buyers will often get an independent<br />
appraiser to help them determine how much to offer for a<br />
property or to determine how much of the value of a property<br />
they can use for depreciation,” Chambers explains. “It is important<br />
for appraisers to be familiar with the type of property<br />
10<br />
S u m m e r 2 0 1 4
they are appraising and to<br />
understand the local market.<br />
With agribusinesses, it takes<br />
a very high level of expertise.”<br />
Beam notes that ASFMRA<br />
members have appraisal<br />
expertise in rural ranchland,<br />
farmland, feedyards, dairies,<br />
vineyards, gins and other<br />
types of agribusiness operations.<br />
“We hold seminars that<br />
help us keep up to date on<br />
changes in these areas,”<br />
he explains.<br />
Some of these seminars are<br />
in addition to the 28 hours<br />
of continuing education that<br />
Texas appraisers are required<br />
to take every two years to<br />
maintain their state<br />
certification.<br />
Another benefit that<br />
ASFMRA members offer<br />
their clients is access to other<br />
rural valuation experts, according<br />
to Robby Vann, vice<br />
president of collateral risk<br />
management at the Farm<br />
Credit Bank of Texas. “We<br />
share knowledge and expertise.<br />
There’s a lot of networking<br />
within the organization.<br />
We can generally find someone<br />
who has expertise in<br />
any particular area that a<br />
customer needs,” says Vann,<br />
who is <strong>2014</strong> vice president of the Texas chapter of the ASFMRA.<br />
Recently, for instance, Beam worked with clients from the Midwest<br />
who were buying farmland in the Texas Panhandle, which was much<br />
different than the land they already owned. He also consulted with<br />
fellow rural appraisers when working on a complicated estate settlement<br />
that involved a large dairy herd, farm buildings and land, with<br />
the owners residing in another state.<br />
That’s not all. Beam reports that state-certified, accredited rural<br />
appraisers are often involved in legal cases, such as right-of-way<br />
projects. “If the appraiser has a designation, such as the ARA<br />
(Accredited Rural Appraiser), it can provide credibility when the<br />
case goes to litigation,” he says.<br />
“We have a very high standard of ethics, and we have a lot of<br />
integrity,” he says.<br />
And, as Chambers notes, “There’s no emotion involved when<br />
you hire a state-certified, accredited rural appraiser.”<br />
Texas Chapter of ASFMRA<br />
A Reliable Source for Rural Land Value Trends<br />
If you spend much time at the feed store or the coffee shop,<br />
you’re bound to hear chatter about local land values. But whether<br />
that discussion is fact or simply speculation, there is a more<br />
reliable source for those who follow the rural real estate market<br />
— “Texas Rural Land Value Trends,” an annual publication of the<br />
Texas chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and<br />
Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA).<br />
Produced every April, the report is prepared by appraisermembers<br />
of the ASFMRA throughout Texas who provide data<br />
to develop the annual market study. It publishes the estimated<br />
ranges of value for particular land categories and qualities by<br />
geographic region. It also estimates ranges of land rents for<br />
the various land types.<br />
While the Texas chapter of the ASFMRA is the recognized<br />
source for current Texas land value estimates and projected<br />
future trends, the report’s credibility comes from the ASFMRA<br />
members themselves: Primarily state-certified, accredited<br />
appraisers, many of them handle rural real estate appraisals<br />
exclusively.<br />
As the umbrella for Texas and other state chapters, the American<br />
Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers provides a<br />
variety of services, including:<br />
• Education for pre-licensing and certified general education,<br />
continuing education and advanced designation education<br />
for rural property professionals<br />
• Networking opportunities and legislative representation<br />
for its members<br />
• An accreditation program for farm managers, appraisers<br />
and consultants. This gives members a strong competitive<br />
advantage in terms of knowledge, networking and recognition<br />
as ethical qualified professionals.<br />
The ASFMRA offers four classifications of accreditation —<br />
Accredited Farm Manager (AFM); the Accredited Rural<br />
Appraiser (ARA); the Real Property Review Appraiser (RPRA);<br />
and the Accredited Agricultural Consultant (AAC). Accredited<br />
members are highly educated, thoroughly seasoned and experienced<br />
farming and rural valuation experts who have taken years<br />
of training to earn a designation.<br />
“Texas Rural Land Value Trends” is distributed free of charge.<br />

Kings of the Mountain<br />
It’s Our Nature<br />
Interview by Courtney Donnell<br />
What do you do when your life<br />
derives from a legend? You<br />
listen to that legacy. Add in<br />
your own flavor. Stand at the<br />
top of your own mountain.<br />
And, share it with the world.<br />
James King, great, great, great<br />
grandson of the legendary<br />
Captain Richard King, founder<br />
of the King Ranch, is doing<br />
just that. Together with his<br />
wife, Tammy, they have taken<br />
a life-long love of the land, an<br />
inherent dedication to Texas<br />
and a genuine appreciation for<br />
people and created something<br />
extraordinary. King Land &<br />
Water, in Ft. Davis, Texas,<br />
at the base of the Davis<br />
Mountains, is a Conservation<br />
Real Estate Firm, dedicated to<br />
pairing exceptional properties<br />
with exceptional people.
James, you come<br />
from a long line of<br />
land merchants and<br />
ranchers, yet you started<br />
your career off in land<br />
preservation and nature<br />
conservancy. Now, you<br />
run a Conservation Real<br />
Estate Firm. What exactly<br />
is a “Conservation Real<br />
Estate Firm?<br />
THE QUOTABLE ANSWER<br />
JAMES: “It’s a focus and career that has grown out of a realization that<br />
land, people, and our natural world are inextricably linked. Stewardship<br />
and conservation of our lands and waters are critical for people, their<br />
lively hood, and the great place we call Texas. We used to use the<br />
phrase “Working Landscapes” in my Conservation Career which<br />
recognizes people are part of the environment.”<br />
THE “OVER-COFFEE” ANSWER<br />
JAMES: It is just kind of a combination of, you know, heritage, family and<br />
a love of Texas. We are descendants of the Richard King family, not my<br />
cousins the Kleberg family that own the King Ranch. You see Captain<br />
King had a son, Richard King, that’s where I came from. We have<br />
always been associated with land, natural resources, and people here<br />
in Texas. Our family has been here a long time and we are networked<br />
into the older families, the original families of Texas. All of that, combined<br />
with the fact I worked with The Nature Conservancy and ran all their land<br />
acquisitions for twenty years, an education in rangeland ecology and<br />
just a real love of natural resources and the science of land. It all just<br />
kind of came together and made sense. We found a real unique niche.<br />
We find ourselves working on unique properties, 17,000 acres on the<br />
Gulf Coast, to a mountain top here in west Texas, to the Devil’s River<br />
in Val Verde County, with unique people who love the land and want to<br />
make sure it is taken care of. It is kind of like we are expanding on what<br />
I did at The Nature Conservancy, but doing it within the private sector.<br />
TAMMY: When we decided to do this, it was the absolute worst time<br />
in our economy. But, James still had this vision that we could cater to<br />
that niche of people who cared about the environment, and at the same<br />
time, were large land owners. He literally quit his job in September of<br />
2008, right in the middle of the crash. And, I was scared to just narrow<br />
it down to that one niche, this conservation<br />
niche, but he had a vision. He held to it, and<br />
it worked.<br />
So, is that all that you do at King Land and<br />
Water?<br />
JAMES: I mean we’ve brokered a couple<br />
of hotels over in Alpine, and we will do a<br />
house or two, but typically we stay within the<br />
conservation model. But, I want people to<br />
understand, there isn’t a strict list of criteria<br />
to adhere to. We don’t only work with lands<br />
that have conservation easements, and we<br />
don’t only sell to Texas Parks and Wildlife or<br />
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department. We just do what most people<br />
would consider a traditional brokerage. But, we find ourselves working<br />
with people that have a strong “Land Ethic,” people who want to own<br />
it and want to own it with the idea of enhancing it, preserving it, good<br />
land management, not sub-dividing, not development. For example,<br />
the Rockpile Ranch. We just closed the Rockpile Ranch. It is 54,000<br />
acres, an iconic Texas ranch. We were able to find a very stable family<br />
who wanted to buy it and keep it together as a ranch. They have the<br />
resources, the desire and the commitment to maintain it. They were the<br />
perfect buyer for that property.<br />
Your tagline, “Protecting Clients, Conserving the Land,” explain<br />
that to me?<br />
JAMES: Yes, we do all of this conservation work, but at the same time,<br />
we are definitely helping people achieve financial success. Out here,<br />
in our region, over the last 20 years, what we originally sold for $120 an<br />
acre then, we are now selling for $800 an acre. There is tremendous<br />
appreciation. So, the whole conservation ideal, it isn’t just from the<br />
heart, it is from the wallet too. You can absolutely achieve financial<br />
success while maintaining conservation success.<br />
What does Conservation Real Estate mean for a community?<br />
JAMES: Community Based Conservation requires an understanding<br />
of the needs, personality and desires of a local community. If you<br />
design your efforts within the context of that community, you are more<br />
likely to achieve lasting success. For example, using private tools, like<br />
conservation easements, works well in rural communities that don’t want<br />
to see more government ownership of land such as Refuges, Parks,<br />
etc. There are other communities who thrive<br />
next to public conservation lands and embrace<br />
parks and refuges as part of their economic<br />
success.<br />
What are the key factors to examine when<br />
considering conservation real estate?<br />
JAMES: All lands have some conservation<br />
attributes; it’s a matter of degree. Some stand<br />
out as more ecologically unique and important,<br />
due to the habitat and natural resources<br />
associated with them. In most circumstances,<br />
it is a landscape or watershed that is important.<br />
One of the main tools used in Texas, is the
Conservation Easement, which restricts certain fragmentation activities<br />
like subdivision and development, but will allow compatible uses like<br />
ranching, hunting, and recreation. When selling a ranch subject to<br />
conservation easements, it is very important to fully understand the<br />
positive attributes associated with the easement and have the ability to<br />
effectively communicate them to potential buyers.<br />
started.<br />
acres in Texas.<br />
TAMMY: James was<br />
working for The Nature<br />
Conservancy, and we<br />
started looking forward<br />
to the future. Living on<br />
a non-profit salary, we<br />
saw an opportunity to<br />
turn it into a for-profit<br />
business. So, I got my<br />
real estate license, and<br />
started a real estate<br />
company, called Texas<br />
Mountain Realty, which I<br />
later sold. The plan was<br />
to get my broker’s license<br />
and James would come<br />
join the business. But, I<br />
needed a little experience<br />
first and that is how I<br />
When and how did you get started selling ranches?<br />
JAMES: After A & M, I worked for Kerr and McGee, managing their<br />
ranches in the eastern part of Oklahoma, near Gore. I was living in a<br />
trailer, at a place called Rabbit Hill, putting tires on the roof to protect me<br />
from tornados. I worked there for two years, and I really appreciated<br />
the experience, but could not wait to get back to my roots, family and<br />
friends in Texas. I moved to Austin in 1983 and got my Texas Real<br />
Estate Salesman license. Me, and fellow Aggie, John Schneider, started<br />
Schneider King Co. with offices in Austin, Alpine, Menard, Marble Falls<br />
and San Antonio, with a focus of brokering ranches statewide. During<br />
the late 1980s, we rode the market up, and we rode the market down. I<br />
got an opportunity to go work for The Nature Conservancy in 1989 and<br />
continued to work with them until 2008, as director of their real estate<br />
program. So, I was buying and selling unique lands across the entire<br />
state. Places like Dolan Falls Preserve, Davis Mountains Preserve,<br />
Caddo Lake WMA, James River Bat Cave, Barton Creek Preserve,<br />
Hoskins Mound, South Padre Island, Independence Creek, Balcones<br />
Canyons NWR, and Shamrock Island, to name just a few. I never sat<br />
down to count, but to date, I suspect it’s over 1.5 Million conservation<br />
What is the strangest experience you have had showing a ranch?<br />
JAMES: It was here, in the Davis Mountains. I met a buyer to show him<br />
a ranch. The owner, my client, insisted on coming on the tour, so we<br />
met him at 10 a.m. at his ranch house. We were in the buyer’s Jeep and<br />
the owner, of the ranch (again, my client), showed up stinking drunk with<br />
an ice chest of more beer. So I moved to the back seat of the jeep, with<br />
the buyer’s dog, and we drove all over the ranch, listening to the seller’s<br />
stories as he downed cans of beer. I was totally embarrassed, but the<br />
buyer was cool and he wanted the ranch. Turns out the buyer owned<br />
six beer distributorships in Texas. The dog, his name was Regalo, got<br />
real friendly with me in the back of that Jeep. Every once in a while,<br />
we still get a Christmas card from that buyer saying, “Regalo sends his<br />
love.”<br />
What have you learned is the most important aspect of selling<br />
ranches?<br />
JAMES: Tammy and I are both, “People, People.” This whole thing<br />
is about relationships and solving problems and being an asset to the<br />
transaction. We nurture these deals all the way to closing, and then<br />

WHAT IS THE TITLE ON YOUR BUSINESS CARD?<br />
JAMES: Owner/Agent • TAMMY: Owner/Broker (You see, she is my wife and my boss!)
after closing. We continue these<br />
relationships. We hook people<br />
up, tell them where to go buy a<br />
tractor, help them find a foreman,<br />
sometimes, we even get their mail.<br />
TAMMY: And, that is a two way<br />
street. Yesterday, one of our clients<br />
came into town from Houston, went<br />
out to his ranch, baked a Pot Pie<br />
and brought it into our office. Our<br />
clients don’t just stay clients, they<br />
become our friends.<br />
How has the industry changed<br />
over the years?<br />
JAMES: It’s all about technology,<br />
excellent photography, digital maps<br />
and social networking. You should<br />
see the difference between the marketing packages we did in the 80s<br />
and the ones we do today. Buyers are smart, and you have to sell<br />
smart, at the same time you still have to be able to drink coffee with<br />
folks and listen. In our age of information and digital content, you have<br />
to be able to develop marketing information that can be emailed and<br />
reviewed quickly.<br />
In general, how do you feel about the industry today?<br />
JAMES: I am so optimistic about the ranch market in Texas today, and<br />
in the long run. We may have a few blips along the way, but we are<br />
going to double the population in Texas from 26 million to over 50 million<br />
in 40 years. We have one of the strongest economies in the world.<br />
That’s a huge increase in buyers with the same amount of land and<br />
lots of money. From a conservation perspective, however, the growing<br />
threat of fragmentation and its impacts will be a challenge to wildlife and<br />
people. Water is the defining issue in Texas and it’s also one of the most<br />
attractive attributes for ranches and recreation properties.<br />
What is your favorite type of deal?<br />
JAMES: We thrive on complexity. It is almost like we are junkies for<br />
stress and just really, really complicated transactions. We find ourselves<br />
selling some of these heritage ranches that have never been on the<br />
market since 1880. There is<br />
hair all over them. The survey’s<br />
not right. The title’s not right. The<br />
cousin doesn’t want to do it.<br />
The brother doesn’t want to do it.<br />
There are boundary issues. The<br />
patents from Texas are missing.<br />
So, we find ourselves rushing to<br />
solve problems. And, we love it.<br />
If you had to pick another<br />
career….any career…What<br />
would you do?<br />
JAMES: I joke with my family<br />
that I want to be a shrimper in<br />
Port Aransas, but not really. I<br />
would probably be a guide, like<br />
a hunting and fishing guide,<br />
wilderness guide. Truthfully, it is really hard to imagine doing anything<br />
other than what I do. I still get really, really excited when I am on a new<br />
property. I am where I need to be.<br />
TAMMY: When I was younger, even before I married James, I always<br />
wanted to own a summer camp of some sort. Now that I am older, I<br />
realize, that is just the epitome of being a grandma. So, for my next<br />
career, I am going with summer camp owner, grandma, or just fishing<br />
in Port A.<br />
What is your favorite thing about Texas?<br />
JAMES: The best thing about Texas is the diversity, in both the land<br />
and the people. You can go to East Texas. You can go to the coast.<br />
You can go to the Hill Country. You can go to Dallas. You can go to the<br />
Valley. They all identify themselves as Texans. And, then I love all of<br />
the natural diversity. Texas is just really unique when you think about all<br />
the natural elements that are here. Beach, Mountains, Forest, Rivers,<br />
Brushland, Marshes.<br />
TAMMY: When I was in college, my mom lived in Germany for a few<br />
years. When I would visit, they would always ask me, “Why do you want<br />
to go back to Texas?” My answer was simple. “Living in central Texas,<br />
I can go three hours in almost any direction and do everything I want<br />
to do. Skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking, river rafting, everything is there.”

MARKET REPORT<br />
PROPOSITION 6 / SWIFT FUND<br />
It’s no secret. Texas is running out of water.<br />
In response, the 83rd Texas Legislature moved to encourage the<br />
development of new water supplies throughout the state by funding the<br />
State Water Plan. To do this, the Legislature, during the regular 2013<br />
session, passed two bills and a Senate Joint Resolution establishing a<br />
funding framework and the opportunity to bring the issue to the voters.<br />
Last November, in the midst of one of Texas’ longest running<br />
droughts, voters approved Proposition 6. With 73 percent of the vote,<br />
citizens gave the Legislature permission to transfer $2 billion from the<br />
State’s Rainy Day Fund to the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas<br />
(SWIFT), which had been created through the passage of HB 4. SWIFT,<br />
a low-interest loan program, can be used to finance rural water projects,<br />
projects related to conservation and reuse, and projects in communities<br />
and cities of all sizes.<br />
“SWIFT is designed to provide an additional funding source for water<br />
projects that have been identified as important at the local level. Nothing<br />
more and nothing less,” said Con Mims, executive director of the Nueces<br />
River Authority, chairman of the Region L Water Planning Group and a<br />
member of the TWA Water Advisory Committee. “SWIFT is not, in my<br />
opinion, a threat to private property rights.”<br />
With that said, though, the projects under consideration can -- and<br />
eventually will -- have implications for private landowners across the<br />
state. As regional water planning groups begin prioritizing water projects<br />
as part of the SWIFT process, some see it as reminder of the need for<br />
landowners to be aware of and engaged in water planning.<br />
development, while others may not. That’s why it is so important for<br />
people to get engaged at the regional level, so they will know what is<br />
going on in their own backyards.”<br />
As an extreme example, Letz said there is likely to be a vast difference<br />
in opinion between a landowner whose land is submerged to create a<br />
reservoir and one who ends up owning valuable shoreline property after<br />
the creation of the same reservoir.<br />
STATE WATER PLAN AND REGIONAL WATER<br />
PLANNING GROUPS<br />
In response to the 1950s Drought of Record, the Texas Legislature<br />
created the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to develop water<br />
supplies and prepare plans to meet the state’s future water needs. The<br />
TWDB published State Water Plans sporadically until 1997, when the<br />
passage of SB 1 established a new water planning process based on a<br />
“bottom up,” consensus-driven approach.<br />
The responsibility of coordinating the water planning process rests<br />
with 16 Regional Water Planning Groups (RWPG) representing 16 water<br />
planning areas, covering the state.<br />
“The RWPGs are the logical and easiest places for landowners to<br />
get plugged into the water planning process,” said Mims. Landowners<br />
interested in finding their RWPG can go to the Texas Water Development<br />
Board website (www.twdb.texas.gov), click on “Surface Water” and then<br />
“Regional Water Planning.” On the Regional Water Planning page, there<br />
is a link to an information sheet, “Regional Water Planning in Texas” that<br />
provides a map of all the RWPGS and their boundaries.<br />
Water projects, whether they involve building reservoirs and<br />
desalinization plants, or developing well fields with pipelines, have<br />
the potential to impact private property through the need for acquiring<br />
easements or land. When a project is undertaken for the “public good,” the<br />
use of eminent domain is always a possibility.<br />
Region J Water Planning Group Chairman Jonathan Letz, who is also<br />
a Kerr County Commissioner and a member of the TWA Water Advisory<br />
Committee, said, “When it comes to property rights, no single project<br />
will make everyone happy. Some property owners may benefit from the<br />
The RWPGs, each have about 20 members, speaking for a variety<br />
of interests, including: agriculture, industry, environmental, public,<br />
municipalities, groundwater districts, river authorities, water utilities,<br />
counties and power generators.<br />
Letz said, “RWPG meetings are public meetings, but very few<br />
members of the general public attend. Those who are in the room have their<br />
voices heard and, as a result, have a very big impact on the proceedings.”<br />
In a proactive move, the Texas Wildlife Association is working to enlist<br />
its members to monitor the proceedings of their local RWPGs and report<br />
back to the association, keeping the leadership abreast of developments of<br />
interest or concern across the state, Letz said.<br />
With the passage of SB 1, the Texas Water Development Board was<br />
charged with preparing a State Water Plan every five years. The Plan, which<br />
is a dynamic document that anticipates the changing water conditions and<br />
needs in Texas 50 years into the future, incorporates information provided<br />
by the RWPGs. Currently, RWPGs have finalized the 2011 Regional Water<br />
Plans, which have been incorporated into the 2012 State Water Plan, and<br />
are drafting the 2016 regional plans, which are due to the TWDB by May<br />
1, 2015.<br />
20<br />

Mims said, “In order to be eligible for any of the water loan programs
y Lorie Woodward Cantu<br />
operated by the TWDB or to qualify for a surface water permit, water development<br />
projects must be designated as ‘recommended’ in the regional water plan. This<br />
means that most of the major projects under consideration in any given area are<br />
part of this plan.”<br />
Notable exceptions are private water marketing proposals where the corporate<br />
officers believe it’s beneficial to “fly under the radar” until the project has gained<br />
momentum, he said. “Even then, the entities agreeing to purchase the water,<br />
generally want the project to be placed in a regional water plan at some point if<br />
state funding or surface water permits are needed,” he said.<br />
SWIFT PROCESS<br />
The 2012 State Water Plan contains approximately 3,000 recommended<br />
water development projects with a total estimated price tag of $53 billion. The<br />
SWIFT Fund contains $2 billion, with 10 percent dedicated to rural (including<br />
agricultural) water projects and 20 percent for water conservation or reuse.<br />
Obviously, priorities will have to be set.<br />
HB 4, the legislation that enabled the SWIFT Fund’s creation, also outlined the<br />
three-step prioritization process that is underway now. First, the HB4 Stakeholder<br />
Committee, made up of the 16 RWPG chairmen, undertook the statutory charge<br />
of creating uniform standards for prioritizing water development projects at the<br />
regional level.<br />
“We knew from the legislation that any standards that we came up with had to<br />
LAKE MARVIN NICHOLS: WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE<br />
Author’s Note: Water planning in Texas can be complicated, detail-oriented and sometimes tedious, but never unimportant. The issues surrounding the<br />
proposed construction of Marvin Nichols Reservoir in northeast Texas demonstrate why landowners and citizens cannot afford to ignore the process. It is a<br />
scenario that is likely to be repeated across the state as our population continues to increase along with demand for water, causing urban and rural Texas to<br />
clash. It raises a lot of questions, including: How do we balance the growing demand for water with a growing demand for food, shelter and energy? In our<br />
quest for more water, how do we conserve the ecosystems that are integral to the water cycle? They all depend on the same open space, productive land – land<br />
that Texas is losing faster than any other state in the nation.<br />
Northeast Texas is home to cattle ranches, poultry farms, hardwood forests and a surplus of water. Its rural character and natural resource based economy are not attracting<br />
people into Region D, the 19 counties within this Regional Water Planning Group, nearly as fast as they are into nearby urban areas.<br />
Dallas-Fort Worth is home to a lot of thirsty people. In fact, it is estimated that the 16 counties within Region C, the Regional Water Planning Group covering the Metroplex, will<br />
need an additional 1.7 million acre-feet of water per year over the next 50 years to meet the growing demand.<br />
To meet its growing thirst, Region C (Metroplex), home to several of the fastest growing counties in the state, looked to northeast Texas for answers, proposing to develop projects<br />
in Region D (Northeast Texas) that would meet 28 percent of the Metroplex’s water needs. The majority of this new water would come from the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir,<br />
which is sited for the Sulphur River Basin, downstream of Chapman Lake and Lake Ralph Hall. The plan calls for flooding about 72,000 acres of land, mostly private property, and<br />
home to the aforementioned agriculture and timber industries as well as oil and gas development. A pipeline will carry the water from its origins approximately 170 miles to its users.<br />
Its price tag is approximately $3.4 billion.<br />
The plan’s opponents predict a 10 percent – 20 percent loss of jobs, which will hit the timber industry particularly hard. They also decry the loss of bottomland hardwood forests,<br />
an increasingly rare habitat in Texas. Hardwood bottomlands are wooded wetlands, an ecologically diverse ecosystem that has been reduced by 75 percent over the past 200 years.<br />
The proposed reservoir will submerge almost 30,000 acres of hardwood bottomlands, which could prompt the federal government to require the acquisition or take of up to 750,000<br />
additional acres to mitigate the original habitat loss. Opponents characterize the plan as a “land grab, where East Texans lose control of 900 square miles, an area roughly the size<br />
of Dallas County.”<br />
Opponents maintain that the reservoir is larger than necessary and Metroplex users should try harder to conserve water, making the most of what they have. The fact that in a<br />
list of state’s 40 largest cities, four of the state’s five highest per capita water users are in the Metroplex is often mentioned.<br />
Proponents of the plan counter that their citizens are decreasing water use by 10 percent to 15 percent a year, but that conservation alone is not enough to provide the water<br />
necessary to fuel one of the state’s – and the nation’s – most important economic engines.<br />
In 2006, Region D (Northeast Texas) opposed the inclusion of Marvin Nichols in the State Water Plan because it was needed by Region D and created an interregional conflict.<br />
In 2011, Region C (Metroplex) again included it as a “recommended” water strategy. Recently, a both a District Court and the 11th Court of Appeals, confirmed that an interregional<br />
conflict existed and remanded the case to the Texas Water Development Board for resolution.<br />
In early April, the TWDB Board Executive Administrator issued a preliminary recommendation that, if adopted by the full board, would allow Region C (Metroplex) to include the<br />
Marvin Nichols Reservoir in their regional plan and proceed with feasibility studies and would require Region D (Northeast Texas) to withdraw its formal opposition and consider the<br />
conflict resolved. The Board scheduled two public hearings for April and accepted public comment until May 2. A final decision is expected soon, but was not available at press time,<br />
so the impact remains to be seen.<br />

e uniform and replicable by other people,” Letz said. “To achieve that we could<br />
not let subjectivity enter in.”<br />
As a result, while the regional chairs agreed that water projects can affect<br />
private property rights, the environment and the economy, the committee did not<br />
include them as scoring criteria because of the subjectivity of the issues, Mims<br />
said. Instead, in his opinion, these will be dealt with as part of the permitting<br />
process that projects will have to undergo before their completion. Letz anticipates<br />
private property rights, the environment and the economy will added in a later<br />
iteration of the regional prioritization criteria once planners determine the best<br />
way to incorporate additional information that is important in the final decision.<br />
Instead, the chairs focused their attention on five minimum statutory<br />
requirements provided by HB 4:<br />
management strategies for their 2011 Regional Water Plans to the TWDB by<br />
September 1 and then turn their attention to prioritizing the projects in their<br />
2016 plans. As examples, Region J, which represents six counties in the Edwards<br />
Plateau, has approximately 20 projects in its 2011 plan and expects that number<br />
to more than double in its 2016 plan, as general projects are made more specific<br />
to meet criteria. Region L, which represents 21 counties in South Central Texas,<br />
is considering 329 projects in its 2011 plan and expects that number to remain<br />
constant for 2016.<br />
Letz said, “While it is tempting to dismiss the prioritization process as a<br />
bureaucratic exercise, the implications of these rankings may be far-reaching.<br />
The SWIFT Fund is just one source of money for water projects, designed to<br />
leverage money from other sources. It is very possible that a project’s SWIFT<br />
ranking could influence its eligibility for other funding.”<br />
1) the decade in which the project will be needed;<br />
2) the project’s feasibility, including the availability of water rights for<br />
project purposes and the project’s hydrological and scientific practicability;<br />
3) the project’s viability, including whether the project is a comprehensive<br />
solution with a measurable outcome;<br />
4) the project’s sustainability, taking into consideration the life of the project;<br />
5) the project’s cost-effectiveness, taking into consideration the expected unit<br />
cost of the water to be supplied.<br />
The HB 4 Stakeholder Group then prioritized the criteria, giving additional<br />
weight to those items that they felt were very important in ranking projects. For<br />
instance, the decade of need, which is an indication of when an area might be out<br />
of water, was weighted highest.<br />
While the current system is a good start, Stakeholder Committee members<br />
anticipate that it will be refined over time as flaws are revealed through use.<br />
“We were required to take cost-effectiveness into consideration,” Letz said.<br />
“As a result, projects with a lower cost receive a higher ranking than those<br />
with a big price tag. This makes sense, but it also creates a potential problem.<br />
Conservation projects are less expensive than projects that require new science<br />
such as desalinization, so conservation projects rank higher overall. Conservation<br />
is very important, but we also need to try experimental technologies as well<br />
because they may hold the very solution we need in the future.”<br />
In addition, HB 4 provided the Stakeholder Group a very short timeline to<br />
complete the regional prioritization criteria. The group began meeting in early<br />
September 2013 pushing to meet the statutory deadline of December 1, 2013.<br />
“We chose not to have public participation at our meetings, because we<br />
didn’t feel we had time for it,” Mims said. Instead, the committee members<br />
sought comment from their respective planning group members and technical<br />
consultants, making it important that interested landowners get involved in the<br />
two remaining steps of the SWIFT Fund prioritization process.<br />
The RWPGs must provide a final prioritization of their recommended water<br />
22<br />
S u m m e r 2 0 1 4<br />
While the RWPGs are busy prioritizing their projects, the TWDB, working<br />
in Austin, will be shaping how the SWIFT funds will be allocated. By March 1,<br />
2015, the TWDB will adopt rules for establishing a point system for its use in<br />
prioritizing water projects and allocating the SWIFT funds. They expect to be<br />
completed ahead of schedule.<br />
As the rules are developed, the TWDB will offer ample opportunity for<br />
public input. Organizations such as the Texas Wildlife Association will be<br />
monitoring the rulemaking process closely. During this process, important<br />
terms such as “rural,” “agriculture,” and “conservation” will be defined.<br />
“It’s been said that in life ‘the devil is in the details,’” Letz said. “In the<br />
public policy arena, it could be said that ‘the devil is in the definitions.’” Also,<br />
the rulemaking process should consider private property rights, particularly as<br />
they relate to eminent domain and just compensation, he said.<br />
“I feel it’s very important that private property rights be considered during<br />
the rulemaking process,” Letz said. “If any projects require acquisition of<br />
property, the property owners should be justly compensated.”<br />
The TDWB, with the input of the SWIFT Advisory Committee that includes<br />
six legislators and the State Comptroller, will also have to tackle the big elephant<br />
in the room: competing regional needs. (TWA’s Vice President Emeritus David<br />
K. Langford, a long-time participant in local, regional and state water planning,<br />
noted that the SWIFT Advisory Committee could also play a pivotal role in<br />
prioritization process, depending on how its members interpret their charge.<br />
“In my opinion, landowners and organizations would be wise to include the<br />
Advisory Committee members in their communication and outreach efforts,”<br />
he said.)<br />
Mims said, “I assume that dealing with competing needs will be a<br />
fundamental consideration in TWDB’s rulemaking for SWIFT funding. It is<br />
the elephant in the room. Texas is a big state. Each region’s challenges are<br />
different. Reconciling them is going to be a challenge in and of itself.<br />
He continued, “With that said, though, remember the SWIFT Fund is just<br />
an additional source of money. If a project has high local support, it will get<br />
built with or without SWIFT funding. Major cities with strong bond ratings may<br />
undertake projects on their own. Landowners, wherever they are, just need to be<br />
aware of what is going on around them.”

MARKET REPORT<br />
by Ruben Cantu and Greg Simons<br />
Just as there are creatures great and small, there are habitats great and small. Landowners,<br />
regardless of the size of their holdings, can make a difference for wildlife by improving the habitat.<br />
Habitat, as everybody learns in elementary school life science, is a place that is natural for<br />
the life and growth of an organism. As part of that same lesson, we learn that good habitat<br />
includes food, water and shelter, which in wildlife management is called cover. There is fourth<br />
component that, unfortunately, often gets overlooked. It is space.<br />
Every animal species has a space requirement, known as range. The term range, when used<br />
in biological sciences can get confusing, because range not only refers to the historic habitat<br />
where an entire species can be found, but to the amount of space that individual animals within<br />
the species will travel on a daily basis to meet their needs for food, water and cover. It differs<br />
from species to species. For instance, depending on location, a white-tailed deer may range over<br />
800 acres, while a bobwhite quail can thrive in 320 acres or more, and a migratory butterfly<br />
can benefit from a one acre-plot along its flyway dedicated to its habitat. Generally, the larger<br />
the animal is, the larger the range it will require. (Migratory birds and butterflies are notable<br />
exceptions.) As a result, size can matter when it comes to wildlife management.<br />
Although it is possible to improve wildlife habitat on small acreages, it is important for land<br />
managers to understand two truths to keep their expectations realistic and help them recognize<br />
the fruits of their labor. First, wildlife species, such as white-tailed deer, dove, quail and turkey, are<br />
mobile. Providing high-quality food, water and cover doesn’t mean that these species will move<br />
in and set up permanent residence. It is likely that managers will be providing a high-quality way<br />
station as part of the animal’s natural range and they may become frequent visitors. Build it, and<br />
if the animals are around, they will come, but they may not stay. Remember, though, just because<br />
the animals don’t live there all of the time, doesn’t make the habitat components less valuable<br />
to them.<br />
(While we’re on the subject of animals on the move, none move farther than migratory<br />
species. Small acreages located along the flyways can make vital, life-saving rest and refueling stops<br />
for neotropical migratory birds if the habitat is enhanced to meet their needs. These birds that<br />
include songbirds, shorebirds, raptors and waterfowl make annual treks from their summer<br />
breeding and nesting ground, which can be as far north as Canada to wintering grounds which<br />
can be as far south as South America. The same holds true for monarch butterflies, whose<br />
numbers are declining sharply. Scientists theorize that one cause for plummeting population<br />
numbers is a decrease in stands of milkweed that are crucial food sources for the butterflies<br />
as well as Texas’ ongoing drought that has wreaked havoc on native wildflowers, goldenrod, and<br />
various species of sunflower that they depend on during migration.)<br />
Second, if land managers choose to manage their habitat to benefit a specific species such<br />
as white-tailed deer, their management efforts will have a cascade effect, meaning that a wide<br />
variety of other species will benefit from increased plant diversity, improved water availability and<br />
well-managed cover. To maximize the benefits, especially on small acreage, it is a good idea to<br />
enlist the active support of neighbors, so habitat is collectively improved across a bigger<br />
area. This is the idea behind wildlife management associations and wildlife cooperatives,<br />
a tool that has been proven effective in East and Central Texas where land holdings<br />
tend to be smaller than in other parts of the state. (For more information on wildlife<br />
cooperatives, please see: http://www.tpwd.texas.gov/landwater/land/associations/)<br />
When it comes to improving wildlife habitat, the process is the same<br />
regardless of the size of the property. It begins with landowners asking<br />
themselves: “What do I want this property to look like in the short- and<br />
the long-term?” The answer to this question will provide the guiding vision.<br />
As a point of information, good wildlife habitat rarely looks like a park.<br />
The best habitat is a diverse mixture of grass, forbs and brush, creating a<br />
mosaic of different textures, heights, densities and even life cycles. Diverse<br />
plant life creates a year-round buffet for wildlife. Park-like rangelands<br />
generally are built on a foundation of introduced grasses and brush removal,<br />
creating a relative monoculture. Cattle can thrive in this environment, but it is less than ideal for<br />
wildlife.<br />
Next, landowners need to set a goal or a series of goals, by answering the question: “What<br />
do I want to achieve on my property?” The answer will depend on the landowner and the<br />
property, but the answer tends to be much more specific than the vision. This is also when<br />
landowners determine what species they will focus their efforts on.<br />
Common goals include: re-establishing diverse native plants, enhancing riparian areas or<br />
creating additional water sources and managing brush species. Successful land managers often<br />
refine their goals, by quantifying them and making them measurable. For example, a landowner<br />
interested in restoring native plants may state his goal as re-establishing a native plant cover<br />
containing 10 wildlife-friendly species on one-third of the property by 2017. This level of<br />
specificity creates a habitat management road map. With that said, the goals must be revisited and<br />
the landowner must be flexible because wildlife and habitat management are directly influence of<br />
Mother Nature, who offers no guarantees.<br />
One of the benefits of working on small acreages is that landowners’ efforts are more<br />
concentrated, meaning that the results of their habitat management may become obvious more<br />
quickly. Their efforts are not diluted by scale. In addition, because the scale is limited, the cost for<br />
habitat improvement is often lower.<br />
While a 1-d-1 wildlife valuation is not necessary to perform habitat work on small<br />
acreages, it may provide tax benefits as well as additional management flexibility. The area where<br />
the flexibility is most obvious and arguably most important is livestock grazing. (There is no<br />
minimum size for improving habitat, but some counties tax appraisal districts do have minimum<br />
sizes for qualifying for 1-d-1 valuations.)<br />
Depending on the rules of the local tax appraisal district, landowners of small acreages<br />
may have to graze a specified number of cattle, sheep or goats year-round to maintain an ag<br />
valuation, regardless of the size of the property. In this situation, oftentimes land is overgrazed<br />
because the county’s minimum stocking rates exceed the land’s carrying capacity, especially in<br />
times of drought.<br />
Under a 1-d-1 wildlife valuation, grazing is allowed, but not required. This means that<br />
landowners can use grazing if and when it helps them achieve their overall land management<br />
goals. It is a fine distinction, but one that can be very important when shaping the landscape to<br />
support wildlife.<br />
The bottom line is this: Habitat is important to all types of wildlife. Landowners who have<br />
small acreages can make a big impact.<br />

MARKET REPORT<br />
WATER CONSERVATION OCCURS IN TEXAS<br />
by Robert & Janelle Fears<br />
You don’t have to sit in a Texas coffee shop very long until the conservation turns<br />
to oil or water. Oil is discussed because we suddenly have a lot of it and as a result,<br />
the state is booming. Water becomes a topic due to its shortage, perpetuated by the<br />
continuing drought.<br />
WATER NEEDS<br />
Needs of all water use categories are forecast by the Texas Water Development Board<br />
in a state water plan at the end of each five-year regional planning cycle. The last<br />
water plan was completed and published in 2012. In this plan, it is predicted that<br />
Texas population will increase 82 percent between 2010 and 2060, growing from 25.4<br />
million to 46.3 million people. Even with the population increase, water demand in<br />
Texas is projected to increase by only 22 percent. Water usage will increase from about<br />
18 million acre-feet per year in 2010 to approximately 22 million acre-feet per year in<br />
2060. The small increase is primarily due to declining demand for irrigation water and<br />
increased emphasis on urban and rural conservation.<br />
Areas where conservation can make the biggest impact are indicated by the water<br />
demand projections in the 2012 State Water Plan:<br />
It can easily be seen by the above numbers that municipalities and agricultural<br />
irrigation are the largest water users. Fortunately, conservation practices are being<br />
employed in both of these categories and will be discussed in future articles.<br />
Water demands from mining involve exploration, development, and extraction<br />
processes of oil, gas, coal, aggregates, and other materials. On a state-wide average,<br />
this category is the smallest water use and the consumption is expected to decline<br />
one percent between 2010 and 2060. Mining demands increased in a number of<br />
counties due to estimates of increased water useage for hydraulic fracturing in the<br />
Barnett Shale. Use of water for hydraulic fracturing operations is expected to increase<br />
significantly through 2020. This demand is partially alleviated by some oil companies<br />
using brackish water for hydraulic fracturing instead of fresh water.<br />
Contrary to propaganda distributed by animal rights groups, water for livestock will<br />
be the second smallest user category in 2060, not the largest. It is also significant<br />
that grazinglands offer the greatest opportunity to conserve water and progressive<br />
livestock managers already utilize conservation practices that help replenish surface<br />
and underground water supplies.<br />
WATER MANAGEMENT ON GRAZINGLANDS<br />
Landowners, who understand water conservation say, “I want rain falling on my<br />
land to stay on my land.” What they mean is that their land is managed for increased<br />
water percolation into the soil and for reduced runoff by maintaining a continuous<br />
vegetative cover. Runoff water is unavailable to plants and it degrades surface water<br />
through silting.<br />
“Vegetation is needed on the soil 24 hours a day, seven days a week to build organic<br />
matter, hold water and stop erosion,” says Ray Archuleta, United States Department<br />
of Agriculture–Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS). “Continuous<br />
live or dead cover helps maintain soil health and protects it from heat and raindrop<br />
impact. Soil needs armor.”<br />
“Soil scientists report that for every one percent of organic matter content, the soil<br />
can hold 16,500 gallons of plant-available water per acre of soil down to one foot<br />

deep,” says Charles Gould, Michigan State University Extension. “That is roughly 1.5<br />
quarts of water per cubic foot of soil for each percent of organic matter.”<br />
Soil water, not utilized by plants, continues to percolate through soil until it reaches<br />
an underground reservoir or aquifer where it is stored. Some of the water from most<br />
aquifers eventually seeps into surface water bodies such as ponds, lakes and rivers.<br />
Dixon Water Foundation demonstrates proper rainfall management on their four<br />
ranches, that collectively total over 15,000 acres. Two of the ranches are located near<br />
Gainesville, one is south of Dallas, and the fourth is near Marfa. The foundation was<br />
founded in 1994 by the late Roger Dixon. Primary purpose of the foundation is to<br />
promote healthy watersheds through sustainable land management. In addition to<br />
demonstrating sustainable land management practices, the Dixon Water Foundation<br />
funds an annual grant program that promotes its mission throughout key Texas<br />
ecosystems, provides landowner education and fosters public awareness about healthy<br />
living through healthy watersheds.<br />
“Each ranch is expected to sustain itself financially with livestock sales and hunting<br />
leases,” explains Robert Potts, President and CEO of the Dixon Water Foundation.<br />
“We practice holistic management on all four ranches. We divided our pastures into 85<br />
different paddocks collectively on the two Gainesville ranches, using both permanent<br />
and temporary electric fencing. Cattle and sheep are grazed together at heavy stock<br />
density and are moved into fresh paddocks daily.”<br />
“In Holistic Management, livestock density is managed to match available forage, in<br />
order to maximize animal impact,” states Peggy Sechrist with Holistic Management<br />
Institute (HMI). “Hooves of animals pastured at a high-stock density pulverize soil,<br />
allowing more water penetration and nutrient cycling. Plants are grazed more evenly,<br />
and there is better distribution of forage utilization, urine and manure. High-stocking<br />
density also causes a more even distribution of litter as a soil cover. The layer of litter<br />
cools the soil, aids in water absorption and degrades into organic matter.”<br />
“The continuous vegetative cover, resulting from holistic grazing management,<br />
builds organic matter, holds water and prevents erosion,” says Clinton Josey, Chairman<br />
of Dixon Water Foundation Board of Directors. “Rainwater soaks into our soils and<br />
does not run off the property. We want to keep all the water that falls on our properties,<br />
and we don’t want the neighbors’ rainwater. The reason is that runoff causes erosion,<br />
and we don’t want to lose our soil. We also don’t want our neighbors losing theirs.”<br />
“We don’t see an immediate change in the water levels of our ponds after a heavy<br />
rain, due to soil absorption,” Josey continues. “A few days following a rain, the ponds<br />
will begin recharging from the aquifer.”<br />
WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT<br />
Trinity Waters promotes enhancement of land, water and life in the largest watershed<br />
within the state, through grants and educational programs. The organization works<br />
through a broad-based coalition of local communities and municipalities, nongovernment<br />
organizations (NGOs), stewards of public lands, private land owners,<br />
and local wildlife management cooperatives/associations. Trinity Waters is partially<br />
funded by corporate donations, currently led by MillerCoors.<br />
“The Trinity River flows from its headwaters north of the Dallas-Fort Worth<br />
Metroplex DFW) to its outlet into the Galveston Bay Complex,” explains Ken<br />
Klaveness, Executive Director of Trinity Waters. “This major Texas river is 512<br />
miles long and has 1,983 miles of major tributaries that drain an area of over 18,000<br />
square miles. With nearly eight million residents, the Trinity River Basin is the most<br />
populated river basin in Texas. The river furnishes primary water needs for over 40<br />
percent of the state’s population.”<br />
“About 75 percent of the Trinity River Basin remains in farms and ranches, which<br />
provide an important watershed service capability,” continues Klaveness. “This<br />
service has been reduced, however, by land fragmentation and changes in land use.<br />
For example, over 300,000 acres of native rangeland habitats were converted to nonnative<br />
grasses over the ten-year period prior to 2003. During this same period, the<br />
average rural ownership size decreased by 27 percent as over 9,600 farms and ranches<br />
were created through large property subdivision. These land use conversions and<br />
fragmentation are placing important upland and flood plain habitats at risk.”<br />

TWA MEMBER PROFILE<br />
TERRY ANDERSON<br />
b y LORIE WOODWARD CANTU<br />
As a child growing up in Kountze, near the Big Thicket, Terry Anderson fell in<br />
love with the outdoors.<br />
“I fell so deeply in love that I never played team sports because they might<br />
have interfered with hunting or fishing,” Anderson said. At the time, trespassing<br />
wasn’t a major concern of landowners in the area, so his outdoor adventures<br />
were limited only by how far he was willing to walk or ride his bicycle.<br />
“I definitely had a rural upbringing,” Anderson said. He and his wife, Kelly, are<br />
continuing that tradition with their children, Katelyn and Wyatt, by making their<br />
home in Chireno near Nacogdoches.<br />
In 1985, as graduation from Kountze High School approached, Anderson<br />
sensed that he wanted a career in the natural resources, so he picked up<br />
a catalog from Stephen F. Austin University and was excited to find classes<br />
in wildlife and forestry management. His excitement was short-lived. When<br />
he shared his plans with well-intentioned adults, he was told that majoring in<br />
32<br />
S u m m e r 2 0 1 4<br />
natural resource management was a “terrible idea because you’ll probably<br />
only find work as a logger or a park ranger -- and you’ll never make any<br />
money.”<br />
Shaken and deterred, Anderson turned to Plan B, enrolling in Lamar University<br />
in Beaumont and majoring in biology with the goal of becoming a high school<br />
science teacher. The curriculum was pure biology, not applied. Anderson<br />
was miserable. Two semesters before earning his degree, Anderson had an<br />
epiphany while he was stuck in traffic.<br />
“I remember thinking, ‘In two semesters, I’m about to get a degree that<br />
doesn’t interest me -- and, hell, I still won’t make any money,’” he said. With<br />
that realization, he dug out the Stephen F. Austin catalog, told his parents that<br />
he was moving to Nacogdoches to study forestry and wildlife management,<br />
refurbished a worn-out mobile home to provide cheap housing, and started<br />
over academically. Only 40 hours of core curriculum from Lamar could be<br />
applied to the forestry and wildlife management degree at Stephen F. Austin.
“I didn’t really know what I was going to do with that degree, I just knew that<br />
I was going to do it – whatever it took,” Anderson, who is a member of the<br />
Texas Wildlife Association’s Executive and Water Advisory committees, said.<br />
In 1989, in the first of a series of “unexpected circumstances and unlikely<br />
nuances,” Anderson interned for Mike and Donna Bird, at Bird Forestry, a<br />
well-respected forestry resources management company, in Center, Texas.<br />
The Birds would later become his business partners and mentors, but that<br />
summer they put him to work in a job where he spent most of his time<br />
winching forestry tractors out of the mud.<br />
“It was a great summer, but it made me appreciate the value of an education,”<br />
Anderson said. He went back to Stephen F. Austin, graduating in 1991.<br />
Anderson returned to work for Bird Forestry as a natural resource consultant.<br />
He and Bird began working to bring private wildlife management to East Texas.<br />
Breaking new ground in the 90s, they quickly learned two things: companies<br />
were reluctant to hire a forestry firm to manage wildlife, and the environmental<br />
services sector, which was being driven by regulatory requirements of the<br />
Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, offered more economic<br />
opportunities than traditional wildlife management.<br />
In response, they established Advanced Ecology, which took forestry out of<br />
the company’s name and opened possibilities in clients’ minds, and began<br />
providing environmental services to corporate, industrial and government<br />
clients.<br />
MITIGATION BANKING IS: “THE RESTORATION, CREATION,<br />
ENHANCEMENT, OR PRESERVATION OF A WETLAND,<br />
STREAM OR OTHER HABITAT AREA UNDERTAKEN<br />
EXPRESSLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPENSATING<br />
FOR UNAVOIDABLE RESOURCE LOSSES IN ADVANCE OF<br />
DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS, WHEN SUCH COMPENSATION<br />
CANNOT BE ACHIEVED AT THE DEVELOPMENT SITE OR<br />
WOULD NOT BE AS ENVIRONMENTALLY BENEFICIAL.”<br />
“We discovered that oil companies and engineering firms were spending a lot<br />
of time and energy trying to get permits and authorization to work in wetlands<br />
or endangered species habitat,” Anderson, who serves as President<br />
of Advanced Ecology, said. “We also figured out that there weren’t many<br />
professionals in that field with a background like ours. And, as time passed,<br />
we found that our unique approach to problem solving effectively navigated<br />
the regulatory maze, which helped us build a successful client base.”<br />
And it worked. Initially, among many other things, Advanced Ecology focused<br />
on ecological surveys, working with companies to identify areas in their<br />
construction path that might be highly sensitive because of the presence of<br />
wetlands or endangered species habitat.<br />
“In the beginning, we primarily were identifying potential impacts,” Anderson<br />
said. “When you’re walking a proposed pipeline route, you get to see a lot of<br />
interesting country, but only for a minute. You see the problem, but you don’t<br />
get to fix it.”<br />
Over time, Advanced Ecology team members determined they wanted<br />
to fix the problems. This realization prompted them to enter the emerging<br />
field of mitigation banking. At the time, most firms that were engaged in this<br />
new enterprise were engineering companies, construction companies or<br />
commercial development firms. Their personnel had environmental science,<br />
engineering, financial or legal backgrounds with experience in permitting and<br />
regulations, not natural resource management.<br />
“Even today, a majority of people who are in the mitigation business tend<br />
to be environmental attorneys, commercial developers or investment<br />
bankers, not dirt foresters or dirt biologists,” Anderson said. “As field foresters<br />
and biologists, we start with the land. The way we attack the problem is<br />
fundamentally different.”<br />
He continued, “Make no mistake, this is a very capitalistic endeavor, but<br />
where other people see mitigation as a financial enterprise with an ecological<br />
component, we see it as an ecological enterprise with a financial component.”<br />
L a n d s o f T e x a s M a g a z i n e . c o m<br />
33
This distinction may seem small, but it is huge in the marketplace. Having<br />
backgrounds in hands-on natural resource management sets the Advanced<br />
Ecology team apart in the field, in the board room, and in regulatory hearings.<br />
They have credibility on both sides.<br />
“I speak East Texas logger, Houston oilman, and Wall Street investor,”<br />
Anderson said. “We pride ourselves on bridging the gap between people on<br />
the ground and people in the skyscrapers.”<br />
Anderson, who self-deprecatingly characterizes himself as an “East Texas<br />
redneck traditionalist,” uses his fish-out-of-water persona to his advantage.<br />
“When I walk into a corporate setting, many people don’t quite know what to<br />
make of me,” Anderson said. “They’re like deer examining a new feeder. At<br />
first they stand off and look, but then their curiosity gets the best of them and<br />
they have to check it out.”<br />
He continued, “When people hear we’re in the mitigation business they often<br />
assume we’re pea-green bunny huggers, but clearly we’re not. Advanced<br />
Ecology is a service vendor whose product allows other companies to<br />
complete their projects, be it pipelines, transmission lines, roads or a<br />
development. Our deliverable is a practical, ecological solution to a problem.”<br />
While each mitigation or conservation bank is unique, Advanced Ecology’s<br />
projects follow the same general framework, Anderson said. First, Advanced<br />
Ecology identifies potential markets where landscapes are likely to be<br />
impacted and ecological solutions are likely to be needed. Second, the team<br />
identifies properties within the area, but not in the project’s path, that can be<br />
restored or conserved to create the mitigation bank. The team also pinpoints<br />
specific companies who are likely to need to credits.<br />
“Mitigation banking is not a ‘quick flip,’” Anderson said. “Generally, it takes<br />
three to five years to restore a property to a level where ecological credits<br />
can be sold. It can also take that long to develop the regulatory and business<br />
relationships necessary for the sales.”<br />
Once an appropriate mitigation site has been found, Advanced Ecology either<br />
makes a fee simple purchase or enters into a joint venture, generally with the<br />
existing landowner. “We are always looking for like-minded landowners with<br />
good projects to team up with. Some of our best projects have been joint<br />
ventures.” Whenever possible, Advanced Ecology continues the productive<br />
use of the land such as ranching, farming or commercial hunting, while it<br />

ANDERSON’S RESPECT FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP,<br />
HIS LOVE OF OUTDOORS AND HIS RECOGNITION OF THE<br />
CHALLENGES FACING LAND STEWARDS IN TEXAS ARE<br />
ALL REASONS THAT HE JOINED THE TEXAS WILDLIFE<br />
ASSOCIATION. HE SERVES AS BOTH A MEMBER OF THE<br />
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE WATER COMMITTEE.<br />
undertakes it restoration work, he said.<br />
“There are a lot of great organizations dedicated to preserving beautiful,<br />
pristine places,” Anderson said. “Our goal is different. Everything we do<br />
is about protecting, enhancing or restoring ecological function.” The land<br />
Advanced Ecology conserves may be beautiful, but historically it has been<br />
impacted in some way. The company is willing to assume the risk and liability<br />
of restoring the land’s ecological function.<br />
As examples of typical projects, the company may reclaim a row crop field<br />
located in a river bottom and restore it to a forested wetland or the company<br />
may stabilize an eroded riparian area or rebuild a channelized stream and<br />
restore its function or it may replace habitat for an endangered species that<br />
was affected by nearby construction.<br />
To ensure as much success as possible in its restoration efforts, Advanced<br />
Ecology’s team created a nursery branch, Terra Native, to grow a majority of<br />
its replacement hardwood seedlings. Knowing that the best way to ensure<br />
successful vegetative restoration is using plants adapted to the region’s<br />
growing conditions, the Terra Native team gathers seeds and acorns from the<br />
property that Advanced Ecology will restore or a nearby property and grows<br />
them out under exacting conditions to meet the company’s quality standards.<br />
“Mother Nature is fickle enough,” Anderson said. “We try to control as many<br />
variables as possible to ensure our success.”<br />
Once the restored ecosystem has been proved functional, Advanced<br />
Ecology, with regulatory approval, sells the mitigation credits. Then, to protect<br />
the ecological function in perpetuity, the property is enrolled in a conservation<br />
easement. At this point, the company either holds on to the land or sells it<br />
to a private property owner who is interested in recreational property and will<br />
uphold the conservation easement.<br />
“It’s important to the Advanced Ecology team that projects are structured so<br />
that the land can continue be managed for compatible recreation or ranching<br />
activities by private landowners after we have moved on,” he said.<br />
To date, Advanced Ecology, their private equity partners and joint venture<br />
landowners have committed over $60 million dollars in undertaking more than<br />
20 mitigation-related projects in five states, conserving or enhancing over<br />
20,000 acres of habitat.<br />
“At Advanced Ecology, we’ve built our business on respect for the land,”<br />
Anderson said. “Our goal, like that of private landowners across America, is<br />
to leave the land in our care better than we found it.”<br />

decision-making table, ably protecting their rights, with full access<br />
and transparency<br />
• To reaffirm and maintain that groundwater is a vested property right of<br />
the landowner<br />
• To convince courts of law that property rights must be honored<br />
• To strengthen border security, and protect Texas landowners’ property<br />
and way of life<br />
• To maintain and improve landowner liability protections<br />
• To secure more transparent and predictable process for private<br />
landowners involved in navigable water proceedings and regulatory actions<br />

MARKET REPORT<br />
Hunting and wildlife have become an increasingly important source of<br />
both income and recreation on ranches across Texas. As landowners have<br />
sought ways to maximize wildlife habitat, restoring rangeland with native<br />
plants and grasses have garnered a growing amount of attention. In South<br />
Texas, where the Eagle Ford Shale is leaving its mark in the heart of the<br />
Last Great Habitat, researchers at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research<br />
Institute (CKWRI) have been on the frontlines developing plant varieties<br />
and techniques for restoring native rangelands.<br />
I tracked down Forrest S. Smith, Director of the CKWRI’s South Texas<br />
Natives and Texas Native Seeds projects, and grilled him mercilessly about<br />
his favorite topic. Below is everything that you ever wanted to know about<br />
the native rangeland restoration, but were afraid to ask.<br />
What are the benefits of native plants and grasses?<br />
We know that native plants evolved with native wildlife over hundreds<br />
of thousands of years, providing sustenance and habitat. A lot of the<br />
introduced species are relative newcomers to the landscape and we<br />
don’t know what benefit, if any, they might have for wildlife. In fact,<br />
we’re determining that many have characteristics that may actually be<br />
detrimental.<br />
Plus, native habitats are more diverse. A native habitat may have<br />
several hundred species in a fluctuating equilibrium with no one plant<br />
species dominating. On the other hand, in an exotic grass community the<br />
vegetation is much more of a monoculture.<br />
For instance, if you have a thick stand of old world bluestem, it out<br />
competes every other plant and dominates the landscape. If you are only<br />
interested in supporting a single species, such as a cow, a monoculture<br />
may work, but if you have 50 species of wildlife trying to survive on a<br />
landscape that has one of type of plant, a lot of the wildlife will not be<br />
provided for.<br />
Essentially, a diverse wildlife population has to be supported by a diverse<br />
plant community.<br />
What are the most common misperceptions regarding native rangeland<br />
restoration?<br />
Range restoration is a quick, easy fix. Range restoration is not quick,<br />
it’s not easy, it’s not cheap and the results aren’t guaranteed. If you are<br />
shopping for a property and wildlife is your main goal, I advise you to<br />
purchase a property with native habitat, even if it has been overgrazed<br />
and abused, instead of attempting a broad-scale restoration on a property<br />
that has been planted to exotic grasses.<br />
Unfortunately, there is a widely held, but mistaken notion that you can<br />
throw out some native seeds and, in three years, magically, you will have<br />
diverse native range. It doesn’t work that way. Native range restoration is<br />
a process and people should be aware that it takes commitment for a long<br />
haul.<br />
A little bit of restored habitat is better than none. In theory that may be<br />
true, in practicality a little bit of restored habitat may not make a noticeable<br />
difference. For example, if you have 1,000 acres and restore one acre of<br />
the property, obviously, it is not going to have a dramatic effect. Generally,<br />
you have to work on a scale that matters for the wildlife species you hope<br />
to benefit.<br />
With that said, there are notable exceptions. Migratory species such as<br />
neotropical birds and monarch butterflies can benefit greatly from oneacre<br />
tracts of restored habitat customized to their needs located along<br />
their flyways. If you have an area that has quail, but lacks bugging and<br />
nesting areas, you can create those in relatively small patches and quail<br />
may begin to use them readily and be benefitted. Turkeys that have<br />
avoided an area because it lacks roosting structures will move in quickly<br />
once those structures are available.<br />

RESTORING NATIVES<br />
ON RANGELANDS<br />
by Lorie Woodward Cantu<br />
Natives here are natives everywhere. You just have to consider the<br />
geography of Texas to know why this is false. A plant adapted to survive<br />
in the High Plains isn’t going to make it in the Rio Grande Valley any better<br />
than a plant adapted to the Piney Woods is going to survive in the Trans<br />
Pecos. In fact, native plants generally do best within 200 miles of their<br />
origin.<br />
Ecoregions also provide another good predictor of where a native plant<br />
will work best. When restoring rangeland, it is a good idea to use seeds<br />
that originated in the same ecoregion as the planting site.<br />
Natives are drought proof. It is true that native plants will often survive<br />
drought when others don’t, but that doesn’t mean that they will be lush,<br />
green and verdant while others wither away. At some level of drought,<br />
all plants die. Native plants are adapted to drought. In response to dry<br />
conditions, they generally turn brown, produce seeds, and die. The seeds<br />
will remain dormant until it rains again and the cycle will start over.<br />
What are the downsides to native rangeland restoration?<br />
It can be very expensive, very time-consuming, very technical and,<br />
because, it is so weather-dependent, very variable. Many times, you don’t<br />
know if a project is going to work until year three or four. It takes planning,<br />
preparation, and patience -- a whole lot of patience.<br />
Why are native plant and grass seeds so expensive?<br />
Seeds of native forbs, wildflowers and grasses are expensive because<br />
they’re more difficult to produce than crop seed or exotic grass. When<br />
you cultivate native plants in their natural environment, they’re subject to<br />
the pests and diseases that occur there. Plus, all of the characteristics that<br />
make them desirable as a plant in a native habitat, like their tendency to<br />
go dormant during drought, make them difficult to cultivate in an artificial<br />
environment.<br />
Another factor is the size of the market. As I said before, native plants<br />
are best suited to growing in an area 200 miles from their point of origin,<br />
meaning that by virtue of their limited growing region, they are a specialty<br />
product and have limited markets. In comparison, the same variety of<br />
Coastal Bermudagrass may be grown successfully from Texas to Georgia.<br />
Why can’t scientists just splice a gene here or there to create<br />
inexpensive, easy to cultivate natives suitable for a larger area?<br />
Because then they wouldn’t be natives or have the characteristics that<br />
made them desirable in the first place. Even though traits like seed<br />
dormancy make seed production difficult, they are important and desirable<br />
for the species long-term survival on rangeland.<br />

On a price per acre basis, Texas rural<br />
land buyers pay more for small acreages<br />
than for large properties. A number of<br />
circumstances contribute to that situation.<br />
First, the numbers of potential buyers having access to sufficient funds needed to<br />
purchase a small tract is much greater than the number of individuals that can afford<br />
the total price tag for the large properties. More buyers ensure more competition<br />
for the tracts available for sale, leading to more spirited bidding in the small end<br />
of the market. Second, prices paid for improvements generally represent a greater<br />
portion of the total price for small properties than for larger properties. For example,<br />
a horse stable on a 50 acre property contributes more value per acre than it would<br />
on a 500 acre tract. Because of these kinds of influences, small tract prices should<br />
always exceed prices for more sizable properties.<br />
Markets in the Austin – Waco – Hill Country of central Texas (Region 7<br />
ASFMRA Report) provide an example of markets where the differences between<br />
small and large property prices have expanded. The chart styled Texas Region 7<br />
Small Property Prices shows the disparity between large and small property prices.<br />
In this Region 7 market, small properties are those that are smaller than 50 acres. For<br />
the 20 years between 1966 and 1985, those small-tract per acre prices average 1.5<br />
times the price of properties in the larger end of the market. That ratio fell well short<br />
of the average of 1.8 posted between 1966 and 2013. Ignoring the period presiding<br />
Texas Region 7 Small Property Prices<br />
over sales of distressed and foreclosed properties between 1986 and 1993, reveals<br />
that in the 20 year interval from 1994 to 2013, small property prices averaged more<br />
than 2.1 times large property prices, a 40 percent increase in the average spread seen<br />
in the earliest years. These facts suggest that Region 7 small tract market trends are<br />
now fundamentally different than those observed in large property transactions.<br />
From 2000 through 2006, the spread ranged between 2.2 and 2.7 before<br />
falling back to the long-run average in 2008 and 2009. By 2013 the ratio had returned<br />
to 2.3, indicating that small tract prices are shooting up faster than larger properties<br />
in Region 7. None of this analysis focuses on the underlying economic and social<br />
market forces. Never the less, it will be interesting to see if the acceleration in small<br />
property prices is an indication that large tract prices will follow.<br />

pivot irrigation there are miles of underground water lines supplying water<br />
to troughs all across the ranch. The road system throughout the ranch<br />
offers easy access in all weather conditions to hunting and fishing areas.<br />
A large lake located just 400 yards from the lodge is full of fish and offers<br />
excellent tranquility.<br />

Property ID: 1737763<br />
Less than one hour from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, 1.5 Miles<br />
of Brazos River frontage and 100 percent of the oil and gas minerals!<br />
Not to mention breathtaking 15-mile views. The Bravos River Ranch<br />
is located just 15 minutes south of Weatherford, Texas and 15<br />
minutes north of Granbury, Texas. This rare find is a haven of scenic beauty, wildlife, water and solitude that’s nearly<br />
impossible to find in such vast acres so close to a major city. The property is extremely well located for development<br />
with many beautiful river-view building sites, as well as additional sites throughout the ranch with panoramic views<br />
of the surrounding countryside. Currently utilized for cattle grazing, the Brazos River Ranch has the opportunity to<br />
be a diverse property from recreational, commercial, or residential development. Large estate ranchettes are located<br />
just outside the main gate of the ranch. Totaling 3,250 acres, the ranch was founded 75 years ago by an agent to<br />
Mexico from the largest cotton company in the U.S., and has remained in the family ever since. Gently to heavily<br />
rolling land with a mix of trees and pasture plays host to a deer population that, for 73 of the last 75 years, was<br />
only hunted by family and friends. The family has taken many large bucks on the property, including one that scored<br />
over 216 Boone and Crockett points. This ranch offers paved road access to the main gate, over 30 miles of good<br />
interior roads, 100-foot elevation changes, the right amount of tree cover, good pastures and 17 ponds. The God<br />
given beauty of this ranch and the proximity to the DFW metroplex make it an impossible match today or in the<br />
future. Owner Financing Available! Price: $21,500,000<br />
