Welcome to the Coastal Bend Prescribed Burn Association

"Enhancing Range and Wildlife Habitat
With Fire"

The Coastal Bend Prescribed Burn Association is a non-profit association of Texas Coastal Bend landowners and citizens whose purpose is to promote, train, and assist members and the public in the use of prescribed burning on their properties. Members participate in the burns of other members and this reciprocation pools labor, making more burns possible, especially for smaller landowners with limited labor resources.

Our goal is to enhance and protect the natural habitat of our 12 member Counties to benefit the landowners and citizens of those counties and the State of Texas.

While we officially serve 12 counties, we have members and visitors from other areas who attend CBPBA functions and prescribed burns, and such membership and participation is encouraged. The Board of Directors will also consider adding additional counties to our service area if it is requested and warranted.

US Highway 181 goes from Beeville to Sinton. Take US 181 to Skidmore and at Skidmore take state highway 359 which goes to Mathis and Alice. When you get to FM796 in Tynan take FM796 East and go 3-4 miles until you see a set of tall, ornate iron gates on the left side of the road. Vehicles will be waiting at the

Gate and we will go into the ranch at that point.

The ranch foreman is bringing water and Gatorade for everyone and also sandwich fixings for those of you who want to eat, if we have time to eat.
