THE CONTINUATION OF A COMMUNITY-WIDE EFFORT TO PRESERVE ARANSAS COUNTY

Since its founding in 2002, Aransas First Land Trust has acquired and protected more than 312 acres of sensitive Coastal Bend habitat essential to the nurture of birds, wildlife, and people. We invite you to learn more about this capital campaign and how you can join us in continuing this important work.

Why is this Important?

Protecting those 312-plus acres has helped to:

Conserve the natural beauty that makes Aransas County where we want to live, work, and play.

Retain a high quality of life for all.
