Wildlife plan starter

Answer a few questions and get a printable draft of your wildlife management plan, laid out like TPWD's plan form (PWD-885), with your region's TPWD minimums and a month-by-month schedule. Finish it with your biologist or AgriLife office, then file it on your appraisal district's form.

1. You and your land

2. How the land is used now

Habitat types on the property (check all that apply)

3. Soils

Run the free property check to fill this in from USDA soil maps, or list the main soils yourself.

4. Wildlife you're managing for

5. Your practices

Pick at least 3 of the 7. Check the work you'll do under each. The TPWD minimums for your region show under each practice.

This tool makes a draft to help you plan. It isn't the official TPWD form and isn't legal, tax or biological advice. Use your appraisal district's own plan form and requirements, and have the plan reviewed by a TPWD biologist, a wildlife consultant or your AgriLife Extension office. TPWD minimums come from TPWD's wildlife management guidelines for each ecoregion. Habitat Ledger is not affiliated with TPWD or any appraisal district.
