conclusion (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Thank you for taking the time to learn with us about Texas mussels developed in partnership with the freshwater mussel research team at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Dallas. We work to ensure our private land stewardship programs like our PLS Lessons foster stewardship of private lands and their associate public benefits through engagement and partnerships. The opportunity to work with private landowners and groups offers unique learning environments to relay research results and pragmatic solutions to emerging solutions to emerging natural resource challenges. If you have any questions about the PLS Lesson or private land stewardship-related topics, send us an email at nri@tamu.edu. , SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true)
