Please join us for Conservation Conversation 2023! Like last year, we will be descending upon Star Hill Ranch to socialize, celebrate and learn about all things public land and waters! Due to last year’s rapid SELL OUT, we have expanded capacity which means more food, more drink, more raffles, and more good people!
Just like last year, dinner, drinks and good times are included with your ticket. We’ve also got another limited run of 200 Texas BHA ramblers for the first 200 folks that purchase tickets.
We have added a VIP ticket option this year as well. Should you purchase the VIP ticket option you get early access to our VIP Happy Hour and be an active participant in Hal Herrings live podcast recording of “Podcast & Blast”. If you don’t listen to it, you are missing out, so I suggest you start now!
This year will feature TWO Panels. One that will focus on Public Water and one that will focus on Public Land. Each panel will have unique perspectives timely insights and great stories from experts in their field.
