Texans are being called to recognize the vital role of native ecosystems in shaping a healthier, more sustainable future during Texas Soil and Water Stewardship Week, observed statewide from April 27 to May 4, 2025. This year’s theme, “Home Is Where the Habitat Is,” highlights the essential connection between thriving habitats and the well-being of both people and the environment.
Spearheaded by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) and the Association of Texas Soil & Water Conservation Districts (ATSWCD), the annual campaign emphasizes the importance of voluntary land stewardship and its role in preserving Texas’s diverse landscapes—from prairies and wetlands to forests and river systems.
“Native habitats aren’t just where wildlife lives—they are where we find clean water, healthy soil, and the balance that supports our communities,” said a TSSWCB spokesperson. “They’re critical to our economy, our culture, and our future.”
