Post Oaks- Lavaca Rio, Jackson County Wynne Snoots, Jason DeLorenzo, and Marty Phillips, owners Brent Friedrichs, manager Located along the Lavaca River, the ranch is home to a diverse patchwork of coastal prairie, live oak-red bay forest, post oak savannah, bottomland hardwood forest, sloughs, and prairie pothole ponds containing rare plants and animals. The white-tailed deer and bobwhite quail populations have been responding positively to the active prescribed fire and grazing regime, which has also enabled the ranch to conserve and expand the important habitat types found on the ranch. The creation and restoration of wetlands is a high priority for the property with several projects in the works.
