We’d like to congratulate the Shield-Ayres-Bowen Family for their award-winning commitment to land conservation  in Texas. We had the unique opportunity to collaborate with the family to craft a 10-year master plan to guide their tradition of stewardship, advocacy, and education into the next generation. The master plan team, led by Andropogon, received a 2018 ASLA Honor Award in Analysis and Planning in recognition of the plan’s unique sustainable land stewardship approach.
