Martin Refuge

Located near Mission in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Martin Refuge offers photographers access to approximately 300 acres of dense South Texas brush within a larger island of wildlife habitat. Established as a private nature-photography destination in 2003, the refuge is known for its biodiversity, professionally designed photography blinds, intimate wildlife encounters, and long-standing commitment to habitat preservation. The property was created as a working example of how private landowners can protect native habitat while generating conservation-based income through wildlife photography. (Martin Refuge)
