Our dedicated team of master-level biologists, property tax consultants and professional field technicians specializes in helping rural landowners protect and enhance your greatest asset...your land!

Our land and wildlife management services and products help ensure your land is the best it can be -- healthy and thriving with native wildlife, grasses, and wildflowers.

Founded in 1997 by wildlife and conservation experts, Plateau Land & Wildlife Management has established a peerless reputation for its services and products for rural landowners. The founders of Plateau have a long-term commitment to Wildlife Management Valuation (WMV) for Texas, having worked for nearly twenty years to shape the policies that guide the alternate tax valuation.

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PLANS
With the same tax savings as Ag, Wildlife Management Valuation (WMV) offers an alternative to livestock, crop and timber production for rural landowners, while also promoting the quantity and quality of native wildlife, and potentially increasing the resale value of property. Wildlife Management Plans are an integral part of the WMV process. Our wildlife biologists, in-depth knowledge of Wildlife Management law, and excellent relationships with appraisal districts make us the WMV and Wildlife Management Plan experts.

LAND & WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Plateau offers an array of services to support the rural landowner's Wildlife Management efforts and promote your ultimate land vision. Our on-site services including Habitat Control, Erosion Control, Predator Control, Fire Ant Control (including Organic), Supplemental Shelter and many more help ensure the maintenance of favorable tax treatment.

WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST CONSULTATION
Plateau professionals perform an on-site assessment of your land to discuss your vision for your land and how the specific characteristics of your land will support that vision. The information from this meeting can be used to clarify if Wildlife Management is right for you, to create the basis of your Wildlife Management Plan, or update your existing plan.

PROPERTY TAX CONSULTATION
One of Plateau's Registered Property Tax Consultants will assess the current tax status of your property, make recommendations for actions to attain your goals regarding your property tax status, and represent you in matters concerning your property tax status in interactions with governing authorities.

PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Some Plateau clients do not have the time or ability to do all their Wildlife Management Plan activities themselves. If you are in a similar situation, Plateau is here to help. We can take the work and the worry away with our experience, and broad spectrum of services and products, to help implement and satisfy your Wildlife Management Plan goals. 
 
WILDLIFE SURVEYS
Plateau can help you estimate and manage your deer numbers through our Spotlight Deer Counts and Remote Camera Surveys, as well as provide the opportunity for you to learn more about your native bird populations (including cherished songbirds) through our Wintering and Resident Bird Surveys and Breeding Bird Census.

HABITAT ASSESSMENT
For landowners interested in learning more about your property and its unique characteristics, an on-site habitat assessment by one of Plateau's master-level wildlife biologists can be invaluable. An assessment includes, for example, the types of wildlife your land can support, how to improve the habitat for desired species or for game populations for hunting, the identity of your plants and their ecological value, and the most appropriate ways of managing your different habitat types to reach your goals.

BRUSH MANAGEMENT
 Plateau offers selective and ecologically sound Brush Management which maintains the integrity of the habitat for wildlife, while enhancing the beauty of your property. Our skilled field technicians implement Brush Management techniques that are tailored to the habitat needs of your property. The various forms of Juniper Brush Management include high intensity (dense) selective clearing, re-growth juniper control, and mechanical removal with cedar shears. Plateau also provides Mesquite, Yaupon and Prickly Pear Control.

WILDLIFE WATER FEATURES
Some may call them ponds, but Plateau's approach takes more into consideration than mere water retention (although we'll ensure that, too). Plateau looks at the project and your property holistically to address variables such as feature location, proper vegetation, and water quality.

CONSERVATION CONSTRUCTION
Uniting the best practices of environmental science and construction, Plateau can enhance the natural features of your property while minimizing the consequences to the land -- from reclamation and/or restoration of land to wildlife viewing structures and water features to creation of environmentally and aesthetically pleasing nature trails and fences. Whether you are a landowner desiring to add amenities to your property, or a developer looking to build a conservation minded community, Plateau is ready to assist.

No other organization has a greater depth or breadth of knowledge in wildlife law, or provides a wider variety of land and wildlife-related services and products, than Plateau Land & Wildlife Management.  Contact us today to learn more about what we can do for you and your land.
