Texas Markers documents people, organizations, and events that have shaped conservation in Texas—anchored to the specific places where the work occurred. Through an interactive map and brief stories, the site presents proposed and active markers that connect environmental history directly to the Texas landscape. Markers can be explored geographically or filtered by name, county, era, or role.
About the Project
Each marker includes a short narrative explaining the site’s significance, with supporting materials such as photographs, archival documents, maps, and occasional oral history excerpts. Many entries represent proposed markers intended to complement future on-the-ground signage, while others preserve important conservation stories that may never be physically marked.
Texas Markers is a project of the Conservation History Association of Texas and is part of a broader effort to document the state’s conservation legacy through oral histories, environmental mapping, and illustrated studies. Together, these projects make Texas conservation history accessible, verifiable, and grounded in place.
