Texas is a diverse mix of urban and suburban areas, agricultural lands, forest and desert environments, and is home to over 22 million people.  Texas has more farms and farm acreage than any other State, but at the same time, it has 24 cities with populations of 100,000 or more people.  In addition, the State has a diverse range of wildlife species.  This combination of wildlife, humans, and their associated conflicts makes the Texas WS program the largest wildlife damage management program in the United States.
