What the Pineywoods region means for your plan

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.

Which region governs your land?

Pineywoods — 90%
Post Oak Savannah — 10%
Blackland Prairie — 1%

Where your tract sits decides which guidelines apply — Montgomery County is mostly Pineywoods, but Post Oak Savannah country covers 10% of the county. If your land sits in the Post Oak Savannah part, your plan follows Post Oak Savannah standards.

Region shares computed from TPWD's Gould ecological-region map over Census county boundaries; region assignment per TPWD.
