You’ll be able to explore a new addition to Big Bend National Park next year. | via texasstandard
Where is this land exactly? Who is the current owner, and why are they selling? The land is located west of the national park near the Terlingua area, and it’s owned by the Fulcher family. The two Fulcher sisters are hoping to donate the land for conservation. They just want to see it preserved for future generations.
They are essentially purchasing the land, and then they will later gift it to the national park. The national park is able to purchase land, but only within their federal boundary. So they’re going to essentially have the conservancy purchase the land and then adjust the boundaries federally to have that be inside of the national park. And I don’t believe there’s any possibility that that will change later in the future. It seems to be pretty standard federal procedure for national parks.
The Big Bend Conservancy was established in the ’90s, and this is their biggest project to date, their biggest land acquisition project for the park. They’re looking to preserve the land, similar to the current owners.
With the land purchase expected to go through early next year, what are the next steps for the conservancy?
