ingly threatened by suburbaniza- tion, rural development and land fragmentation driven by rapid popu- lation growth,” he says. “More than 54 percent of this land conversion was related to development associ- ated with population expansion in the state’s 25 highest growth rate counties. During this period, ap- proximately 590,000 acres were lost from the agricultural land base in these counties.” Lopez presented these and other


key fi ndings from a new Texas Land Trends study at “No Land, No Water: Tools and Strategies for Conserving Land to Protect Water Resources,” sponsored by the Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT). The report describes recent


changes in ownership size, land use and property values of private farms, ranches and forests in Texas from 1997 to 2012. Developed by the institute, Texas Land Trends (txlandtrends.org) is an interac- tive website and database detailing current land use trends within the state. It also shows the impacts of rural land loss and fragmentation on water, agriculture and other natural resources. Blair Fitzsimons, TALT chief


operating officer, says. “Farms, ranches and forests in Texas are undergoing a fundamental change, and Texas Land Trends provides a valuable source of information for anyone in the natural resources community. “Through Texas Land Trends,


we have been able to raise aware- ness that ‘Yes, we have a lot of land in Texas,’ but we are losing it at a faster rate than most other states in the country, and that loss is hav- ing profound impacts on our agri- cultural base, our water resources and our native wildlife habitat,” Fitzsimons says.
