Texas family places 470-acre, 115-year-old farm under permanent conservation
A Texas farm purchased by Joseph Martinek in 1911 has been in his family for 115 years. In 2026, his descendants permanently protected the 470-acre property near La Grange through a donated conservation easement. The easement safeguards farmland, wildlife habitat, open spaces, water resources, and sites of archaeological significance. The family retains ownership of the land and will continue managing it under the new protected status.
