In 1990, the Mitchell family began a major, long-term habitat preservation project at Cook’s Branch, the family’s 6,000-acre preserve in the Piney Woods of East Texas (that was acquired by the Mitchells in 1964). The project was initiated and driven by George and Cynthia’s daughter, Sheridan Mitchell Lorenz.

Today, Cook’s Branch Conservancy operates as a program of the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation.
