OUR LAND
The South Texas Plains
The great state of Texas has many varied enviroments and JSM sits right in the southern portion the South Texas Plains. The South Texas Plains run from the Hill Country to the Rio Grande Valley. Known for its grasses and thorny brush landscapes it is a nice reflection of the Texan and Mexican enviroments that this region crosses.
If you want to save yourself the long walk, visit JSM and see this habitat in its full glory. From the lush grasses in the open pastures to the brush that grows so thick you wonder how the travelers of old ever got through. And while you expore you will see a lot of creatures that call JSM and the South Texas Plains 'Home'.
