East Texas forest country. Timber management for wildlife, streamside management zones, hardwood restoration and prescribed fire are the common qualifying practices.
Texas Parks & Wildlife publishes separate wildlife-planning guidelines per ecoregion, and appraisal districts hold plans to their region's standards.
