Why I’m trekking for the Texas ocelot

I grew up hiking these landscapes, watching the sun rise over the mesquite trees, hearing the calls of birds before the heat set in. Texas is wild, but it’s getting smaller. The Texas ocelot used to roam freely here, but now there are fewer than 80 left in the wild—isolated, trapped by roads, their habitat disappearing.

I am trekking across Texas for the ocelots that still roam these wild places. For the ones that don’t make it across the highway. For the ones running out of land to call home.

Every dollar we raise helps fund:

  • Habitat restoration to give ocelots safe territory to roam
  • Wildlife crossings to prevent deadly road accidents
  • Conservation research to track and protect the remaining population

If you love wild places and the creatures that depend on them, please support my Tread Across Texas.

Blisters are temporary. Glory is forever. Also, so are your terrible tan lines.

One foot in front of the other, Jake. Also, don’t get eaten by a mountain lion.

Hope your boots are treating you well—if not, I suggest making friends with a passing armadillo for a ride.

Go Jake! If an ocelot can survive in the wild, you can survive 150 miles. Probably.
