Collective Action and Social Capital of Wildlife Management Associations
(2007) Wagner, Matthew; Kreuter, Urs; Kaiser, Ronald; Wilkins, Neal
"Many landowner associations have been formed in Texas to improve wildlife habitat and populations on a scale larger than single tracts. This is especially important for the management of white-tailed deer, a popular big game species that is considered a common-pool resource. Social capital, which fuels collective action among landowners, is one of the keys to successful formation and maintenance of these associations."

Land stewardship for both resources could lead to improved habitat and hydrologic function for sustainable use. Social capital, coupled with economic incentives, play and important role in the formation and maintenance of these associations."
