Clarence Gilbert "CG" Johnson, Jr.

In 1985, rancher and philanthropist C.G. Johnson gave the State of Texas 23,000 acres in Brewster County to develop Elephant Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Ten years later, he gave a 5301-acre parcel to the State to create Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Elephant Mountain has been an important tract for desert bighorn recovery, while Mason Mountain has been a key study site for the interaction of African and native ungulates.
