Conservation Easement at John Knox Ranch
Hill Country Conservancy (HCC) and John Knox Ranch (JKR) have partnered on a conservation easement on 255 acres of the 300-acre John Knox Ranch. The HCC-held easement will protect the property’s important water and wildlife resources, and John Knox Ranch will continue operating as a nonprofit summer camp and retreat center. This project not only secures the future of John Knox Ranch, it helps fulfill our mission "to foster experiences of Christian community in the beauty of God's creation."
