About Us

 

The Hill Country is the most beautiful part of Texas. We all want to see it flourish for generations to come, which means we need to do everything in our power to protect it. 

The problem is, we in Comal County are not taking enough steps to safeguard our legacy of scenic hills, pure springs, and diverse wildlife. If we don’t take action now, we will lose these treasures and the opportunity to shape our future.  We believe it’s up to all of us to come together to achieve the critical balance between growth and environmental conservation.  

At Comal Conservation we work to raise awareness, mobilize our community, and secure the resources to protect Comal County’s land, water, and wildlife now and for future generations.

History

Everyone in Comal County talked about the rapid development, sharing stories of bulldozers replacing beloved natural areas and expressing concerns about water and aquifer protection. The community’s collective worry led to the formation of the Comal County Conservation Alliance (CCCA), the first conservation nonprofit in the county. The idea took root in February 2017 during a public conference organized by the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance, Hill Country Alliance, and League of Women Voters-Comal Area. Subsequent forums and brainstorming sessions in late 2017 further solidified the group’s mission. By early 2018, CCCA had formalized its structure, elected officers, and received official nonprofit status, ready to protect the region’s natural beauty.
