Established in 1834, Fennessey Ranch is located just outside of Refugio, Texas. The Ranch is a rich network of meadows, brush, prairie, freshwater wetlands, natural lakes, and riparian woodlands. This 3,261-acre wildlife oasis is home to numerous types of birds, plants, amphibians, reptiles, insects, and mammals. The Ranch is designed to be an environmentally friendly business that profits from traditional livestock ranching and other endeavors, with partnership and support from The University of Texas at Austin. A stop on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, Fennessey Ranch has nine linear miles of river frontage on the Mission River.
