Land and Wildlife Conservation

S-Squared Ranch is a tract of 50 acres in western Lee County, Texas. It is located in the Southern Post Oak Savannah, a part of the East Central Texas Plains, as classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Previously used for hay production, we are now managing our land to benefit local wildlife. Our goal is to encourage the restoration of native plant species communities, and to provide habitat for a variety of native and migratory animal species, especially birds and pollinators.

The property consists of 35 acres of former hay field, and 15 acres of Post Oak and Elm woodland. The old hay field is the focus of most management activities; the woodlands are maintained as they are, but monitored. Our wildlife management plan includes range enhancement and predator control, provision of supplemental food and water, provision of supplemental shelter, and surveillance to monitor wildlife populations.

We have designed this website to share our progress. Please enjoy!
