Are your community’s historic farm and ranch properties disappearing?

The San Antonio Conservation Society and the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Partners in the Field program will address the impact of the expanding growth of the urban/suburban footprint on the historic rural landscape in the 12-county Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) region. This historic farm and ranch properties preservation workshop will help explore the best possible measures for maintaining the unique character of rural South Texas and the Hill Country.

A diverse panel of speakers will cover topics including identifying historic properties, stabilization and restoration, potential funding sources, and conservation easements. Opportunities will also be available to discuss and share experiences.

This workshop is ideal for concerned property owners and members of local governments, community and non-profit organizations, advocacy and planning groups, and historic associations, across the 12-county AACOG region.
