Stretching out across 2,800 acres in the Texas Brazos Valley, Millican Reserve is an exciting development designed to set a new standard for stewardship and interactive planning. Set in a vast and pristine natural setting near College Station, Texas, the natural beauty and rich heritage of this place creates an authentic and healthy community to live, work, and play in while staying engaged with the land.

Early in the planning phase, the owners of Millican Reserve looked to Plateau Land & Wildlife Management as their partner in conservation. With the placement of a Wildlife Management Plan, Millican Reserve has been able to retain a favorable tax valuation without grazing pressure from livestock. By utilizing additional management activities such as habitat planning, nature trails, supplemental shelter, and census of indigenous wildlife, the property has seen a tremendous improvement in diversity of species and improvement of habitat which will set this project apart from other rural developments.

Recently, Millican Reserve hosted a successful Texas Youth Hunting Program hunt, allowing seven youth hunters to harvest four doe on the 2-day hunt. This is great opportunity to pass on our hunting heritage while helping the landowner meet their wildlife management objectives. Texas Youth Hunting Program is a partnership of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Wildlife Association in San Antonio, Texas. Over the course of the hunting program weekend, youth ages 9 to 17 are educated on safe, legal and ethical hunting practices.
