About Me


Click here to learn more about Hill Country Conservancy!
Our mission is to ensure a healthy environment and economy in the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer region by preserving open space and the rural heritage of the Texas Hill Country. Our goal is to conserve at least 50,000 acres of land, focusing on scenic vistas, providing recreational opportunities, protecting water quality and quantity, and preserving the area's rural heritage.
If this goal is accomplished, the area's economic vitality will also be ensured because the Hill Country's vast open spaces and natural beauty are a primary reason people choose to live and work here. Separate studies published by Texas A&M University and the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce reached the same conclusion: the region's future economic growth and prosperity are inextricably tied to the preservation of its natural environment.
Hill Country Conservancy seeks the advice of and works with landowners, conservation buyers and sellers, the real estate and business communities, and numerous agencies of local, state and federal governments. Together, we craft cutting-edge solutions to the complex challenges of preserving the economy and the environment.
