Marvin Nichols Reservoir: TCA coordinates a coalition of property owners, timber industry officials, citizens engaged in agribusiness, conservationists, and other Texas residents who oppose construction of the 66,000-acre Marvin Nichols Reservoir on the Sulphur River in Texas and who advocate for cost-effective water supply options that are less damaging to the natural and human environments. This year, TCAs project, Preserve Northeast Texas, generated coverage in numerous media and print outlets, organized public opposition to the project, and supported legislation to address the issue.

Habitat Restoration and Lights Out for Wildlife: TCA conducts events and recruits people from a wide range of constituencies, particularly young people, to participate in habitat restoration events planting trees and native prairie plants, cleaning up trash harmful to wildlife, turning off nonessential lighting during spring and fall bird migrations (called Lights Out for Wildlife), and eliminating invasive plants from natural areas. In FY24, TCA held or co-hosted events at which more than 1,000 volunteers planted trees and prairie plants and picked up trash from Texas waterways. TCA staff, interns, and volunteers conducted on-foot surveys of downtown Dallas and Fort Worth to gather data about bird mortality due to light pollution and to rehab injured birds, and urged cities, building managers, and residents to go Lights Out. TCA propagates and disseminates native plants.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
