Forestar Group, Inc., owner
Stan Cook and Jeff Portwood, managers
The Neches Refuge in Houston County has strived to improve and enhance habitat for all native East Texas wildlife species, while managing for sustainable, healthy, profitable, and aesthetically pleasing forestland. The refuge has planted over 75 acres in longleaf pine with plans for an additional 20 acres of plantings. Numerous water control structures have also been installed to create seasonally-flooded wetlands, including a 42 acre green-tree reservoir. The ranch expects to expand the reservoir to 62 acres and add another project that temporarily floods 19 acres.
