The mission of the Hill Country Alliance is to bring together a diverse coalition of partners to preserve the open spaces, starry night skies, clean and abundant waters, and unique character of the Texas Hill Country.

Community Resilience

As our region reacts to ongoing challenges, the Hill Country Alliance is working to keep you connected.

Land

Water

Thirteen Texas rivers begin in the Hill Country and provide water for millions of downstream neighbors.

Night Sky

Community

90% of Hill Country lands are in unincorporated areas where there is little authority to plan for growth.

"For the first time in nearly half a century, we looked at the status of major and historical springs across the state to see if more #springs had gone dry. Indeed, more—many more—have failed over the past 50 years."
