The John Graves Legacy Society honors individuals who have made a planned gift to Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation through their will or estate plan. These special supporters are committed to conserving Texas' lands, waters and wildlife for the future and want their legacy to reflect this commitment.

John Graves (1920-2013) was a beloved Texas writer who shared the abundant natural beauty of our state with thousands of readers and gave voice to the urgent need to protect Texas' unique landscapes in his book Goodbye to a River. Just as John Graves inspired countless individuals to take an active role in the stewardship of our wild things and wild places, so too can a planned gift to Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation impact the future of conservation in Texas.

Please let us know if you have included Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation in your estate plan. No gift amount is too small. Your willingness to be recognized as a member of the John Graves Legacy Society inspires others to follow your example. We also honor and respect those who wish to remain anonymous, but hope that you will share this information with us on a confidential basis.
