The Hill Country's eastern rim — spring-fed country. Cedar break management, oak savanna restoration and protecting spring/spring-fed habitat are the common commitments.
Texas Parks & Wildlife publishes separate wildlife-planning guidelines per ecoregion, and appraisal districts hold plans to their region's standards.
