In the Trans-Pecos region, RGJV carries out habitat restoration projects through the Chihuahuan Desert Conservation Partnership (CDCP), which brings together resources and partners to collaboratively implement on-the- ground habitat restoration in the Chihuahuan Desert. Staff work with landowners to provide technical and financial assistance for enhancing or restoring grassland, riparian, and aquatic habitats. Funding support for this work comes from several program sources including Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and The Alamito Creek Conservation Initiative – a partnership between the Dixon Water Foundation, RGJV and the Borderlands Research Institute.
Eligible counties currently include Brewster, Crane, Crockett, Culberson, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, Loving, Pecos, Presidio, Reeves, Upton, Val Verde, and Ward. Landowners in these counties who are interested in discussing potential projects are encouraged to email Conservation Delivery Coordinator Price Rumbelow (prumbelow@abcbirds.org).
