BREWSTER COUNTY - The Christmas Mountains in Brewster County are set to become an outdoor classroom.

The Texas State University System will take control over the 9,000 acre tract of land.

The announcement was made last week by the Texas Land Commissioner and the University System Chancellor.

Several nearby Universities already have plans to use the area for research and to study the wildlife.

The remote land will also be open to everyone including hunters.
