Description
Texas is losing rural lands to development faster than any other state in the nation. In this panel, we will examine the drivers of sprawl and land fragmentation across the state, discuss the impacts of development on everything from food production to flood mitigation, and delve into what is being done to protect the unique and iconic landscapes of Texas before they are lost forever.
