County Guide

Select a county to find local conservation programs, parcel questions, and official resources relevant to golden-cheeked warbler projects.

This guide focuses on one species across 35 Texas counties. It does not list all wildlife in a county or determine whether the species or its habitat occurs on a property.

Map coverage & sources

35 counties covered by this golden-cheeked warbler guide, following the breeding-survey study area identified in the 2025 USFWS review, page 16. This is not the complete possible occurrence range.

Generalized county boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau, via Esri's county boundary layer. No sensitive observation locations are displayed.

Use this guide to prepare, then confirm the parcel.

A habitat map or submitted application does not authorize clearing. Program participation, preserve/mitigation areas, county boundaries, and habitat are different things. Confirm local development approvals separately.

When a regional plan does not fit

The federal project pathway.

Federal agency involvement: Section 7 consultation

Projects involving federal funding, authorization, or agency action may require Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation through the responsible federal agency. Start with that agency and USFWS project planning and review.

Non-federal projects: habitat conservation plans

Where incidental take is anticipated, discuss an individual Section 10 habitat conservation plan and incidental-take permit—or participation in an eligible existing plan—with USFWS. USFWS habitat conservation plans.

What does a survey or recovery permit establish?

A survey documents biological information within its methods and limitations. A biologist's recovery permit authorizes specified research and recovery activities; it does not provide development incidental-take coverage. Read about survey services.
