Join us to hear about what the citizens of San Antonio are doing to protect the quality and quantity of their water.
Community Action
  • Voted to increase local sales tax to provide funding to purchase land and conservation easements over the Edwards Aquifer, the largest source of drinking water for the city.
  • Since 2000, the program has committed over $270 million and has protected over 156,000 acres of land, proving that citizen action can make a difference!

Did you know?

Comal County has been among the top 10 fastest-growing counties in the United States for the past 5 years and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future.

​Population growth brings opportunities to our community but also puts pressure on our water resources, wildlife habitat, rural landscape, and quality of life -- the things that brought many of us here in the first place.​

CCCA is committed to protecting the valuable natural resources at risk from rapid growth. We hold free Community Meetings with guest speakers on the second Tuesday of each month and invite everyone to support our conservation efforts.

What if...

We want future generations to enjoy this beautiful Texas Hill Country. What if you could help make that happen by spreading the word about conservation?

Conserve while we can

Once land is developed into a residential neighborhood, shopping center, or quarry, it cannot be returned to its natural state. Therefore, to maintain the natural resources and rural beauty that are the bedrock of Comal County’s desirability as a place to live or do business, we must preserve open space while there are still open spaces to preserve.​

A cause worth
​caring About

Open spaces and ranch lands provide clean water to our aquifers, creeks, rivers, and lakes; clean air for our residents; clear views of our starry night skies; preservation of Comal County’s unique scenic beauty and rural character; habitat for our county’s endangered and endemic species and other wildlife; and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.​
