In this episode, Taylor Garrison visits with Mark Brown of the Brown Ranch to talk about his journey to a conservation-minded landowner.


Mark shares how he and his wife transitioned to a wildlife tax valuation and built an award-winning prairie ranch focused on restoring the endangered Fayette Prairie. From tackling invasive grasses to using prescribed fire and strategic grazing, he offers real-world insight into managing land for long-term impact.


Along the way, Mark reflects on lessons learned, the value of community through Native Prairie Association of Texas and the South Central Texas Prescribed Burn Association, and why staying curious is key to good stewardship.
