Grayson County, Texas -- What does conservation look like when a community decides to roll up its sleeves and get involved?

On September 26, Mossy Oak Properties Cross Timbers Land & Home is partnering with Friends of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge for National Day of Conservation at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge.

This isn't simply a company hosting an event. It's a group of people who make their living around land coming together to give something back to it.

Broker/Owner Jared Groce has spent years helping people buy and sell land throughout North Texas and Oklahoma. His work has reinforced a belief that land ownership comes with a responsibility to understand and protect the wildlife, habitat, water, and outdoor heritage connected to it.

That belief is also deeply embedded in the Mossy Oak Properties culture. Conservation isn't just something we talk about—it is something we believe should be practiced.

Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge provides an incredible opportunity to put that philosophy into action. The partnership with Friends of Hagerman allows local land professionals, conservationists, outdoor enthusiasts, families, and volunteers to come together around a common goal: leaving the land better than we found it.

This is an opportunity to join people working outdoors, help with conservation projects underway, visit with volunteers giving their time, improve wildlife habitat at the refuge, and talk with Jared and Friends of Hagerman representatives about why conservation matters to North Texas.

This is the story of what happens when local businesses and community members choose to invest in the land around them.

Land is our business. Conservation is our responsibility.

We hope you'll consider making National Day of Conservation at Hagerman part of your plans on September 26.
