H.R. No. 1181 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Texas Agricultural Land Trust has been | ||
reaccredited by the national Land Trust Accreditation Commission, | ||
and this achievement truly merits special recognition; and | ||
WHEREAS, An independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, | ||
the Land Trust Accreditation Commission works to evaluate a network | ||
of more than 420 accredited land trusts across the nation, foster | ||
public confidence in land conservation, and promote the long-term | ||
protection of land; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 2007, the Texas Agricultural Land | ||
Trust works with landowners across the Lone Star State to conserve | ||
nearly 227,000 acres of working lands and vast open spaces, helping | ||
to ensure that these farms, ranches, wetlands, wildlife habitats, | ||
forests, watersheds, coastlands, and river corridors will be | ||
available to future generations; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Texas Agricultural Land Trust underwent a | ||
yearlong review to win this prestigious accreditation, with staff | ||
providing extensive documentation for a comprehensive third-party | ||
evaluation of the land trust's governance, finances, ethical | ||
standards, and stewardship; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through its successful completion of this rigorous | ||
process, the Texas Agricultural Land Trust has demonstrated itself | ||
worthy of the trust of landowners as they work together to preserve | ||
and protect the outdoor spaces of the Lone Star State; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Texas Agricultural Land Trust | ||
on its reaccreditation by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission | ||
and extend to all those associated with the trust sincere best | ||
wishes for continued success with their important work; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Texas Agricultural Land Trust as an expression of | ||
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
