J. David Bamberger is the founder of the Bamberger Ranch Preserve, also known as “Selah,” a term form the Book of Psalms meaning “pause and reflect.” Selah is located in the Hill Country near Johnson City, Texas. In 1969 Mr. Bamberger bought what the locals called “the worst piece of real estate in Blanco County” – 5,500 acres of badly degraded ranch land. He has spent the last 42 years restoring the ranch to health and productivity. Selah is one of the largest private habitat restoration projects in the State of Texas. Over 88 species of grasses, most of them native, now thrive on the hillsides and valleys of Selah. Mr. Bamberger has demonstrated that restoration of a damaged environment is possible with commitment and patience.
