Programs

  • Ranch Management and Conservation

    Ranching: The East Foundation's exempt purposes can only be achieved through the active management of a livestock ranch that is representative of the 14.1 million acres of native rangeland in the South Texas Brush Country and Coastal Sand Plain region. This ranch serves as a laboratory for agricultural research that will facilitate wildlife conservation and livestock production throughout these 14.1 million acres of native rangeland and encourage wildlife conservation and livestock production in similar habitats across the United States and around the world.

  • Rangeland Research Initiatives

    Science: Research programs that intentionally focus on those factors that most threaten the productivity of native rangelands, including but not limited to drought, disease, invasive plants, and exotic animals. We conduct some of this research in partnership directly with the Texas A&M University System (a land grant university system), the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, and the King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management at Texas A&M-Kingsville. Some examples of current research programs are the following: (See Schedule O for continuation)

  • Youth Agricultural Education

    Education: Deliver programming, knowledge, and leadership skills to the youth of South Texas benefiting the region now and in the future. Our youth education programs drive public and student interest in agricultural science. We partnered with IDEA Public Schools, Texas Wildlife Association, and San Antonio's Witte Museum to deliver adventure-based, natural resource programming to increase awareness of land stewardship principles, promote student engagement, and inspire students to pursue careers supporting land stewardship.
