As the steward of Millican Reserve’s natural spaces, the Conservancy champions sustainable land management and the protection of native wildlife. Our conservation mission places us at the intersection of human activity and nature, and we are setting an example of responsible preservation and management of wild spaces at the edge of development. Through diligent management practices, educational initiatives, and strategic partnerships, we aim to safeguard the ecological integrity of our part of the Brazos Valley.

At the Conservancy, agriculture is at the heart of our mission to build healthy community around nature. Our year-round farm supplies fresh, chemical-free, locally-sourced produce to our community in the form of harvest shares, sales to our partner restaurants, and food bank support. Stop by our farmstand at Millican Reserve to meet your farmers, experience the freshest veggies the Brazos Valley can offer, and learn about our garden club where you can cultivate your own plot and “green your thumb.” Initiatives like these help bridge the gap between farm and table, ensuring that every harvest supports your family’s nutritional health, educational growth, and community well-being.

The Conservancy is all about fun and well-being in nature’s playground. Whether you’re exploring our trails by foot, bike, or horseback, or joining lively activities like running classes, bike races, or summer camp, there’s always something to get your heart pumping. Or how about a more low-key farm tour, nature class, or lakeside wine-tasting? Whatever your speed, each program is a chance to learn and connect, and we think the great outdoors here at Millican Reserve is always the best backdrop for boosting your family’s mood and health.

Supporting the Conservancy is easy, and each contribution furthers our mission of building healthy community around nature. The quickest way to show your support is to join! Members and TrailPass holders play a vital financial role in our mission, as do our corporate sponsors. Donations and volunteer hours are also always welcome. All support, including simply inviting friends to attend a free Conservancy program, plays an important role in sustaining and enriching our Brazos Valley environment and community.
