DALLAS, TX – January 31, 2025 – BKV Energy, a Texas-based residential electricity provider known for its transparent, gimmick-free, customer-first plans, is proud to announce a five-year commitment to the Texas Land Conservancy (TLC). This partnership will help support and enhance public access to TLC’s Malone Preserve, a 145-acre protected natural area in North Texas.
Located in Rio Vista, Texas, the Malone Preserve has been under the stewardship of Texas Land Conservancy since 1995. Through BKV Energy’s presenting sponsorship, TLC will expand accessibility, fund new projects, and invest in infrastructure improvements to make the preserve more welcoming for the North Texas community. Malone Preserve is home to diverse ecosystems, including woodlands, pocket prairies, riparian bottomlands, and over a quarter-mile of Nolan River frontage. Visitors can experience native wildlife, scenic trails, birdwatching, and educational programs, with amenities such as bridges, picnic areas, and peaceful seating spaces.
“BKV Energy is committed to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve,” said Javier Hinojosa, Vice President, Retail Power at BKV Energy. “Texas Land Conservancy’s dedication to preserving our state’s natural resources aligns perfectly with our values, and we are honored to contribute to maintaining this beautiful area for future generations.”
As part of this initiative, TLC will introduce “Open Weekend” events at Malone Preserve, starting in 2025. These events provide the community with opportunities to explore the preserve and witness conservation efforts in action. Additionally, volunteer opportunities will be available on the last weekend of each month.
