WHAT'S UP?
GET READY FOR THE BIG GIVE!
MARCH 26 — THE BIG GIVE, 24 Hours of Support for Community Organizations
CCCA has joined the BIG GIVE - San Antonio, which starts at 12:01 AM, March 26 and ends at 12:00 AM, March 26.
As you know, Comal County and New Braunfels are growing very fast. We understand why. This is a beautiful place to live. With this growth, we are losing significant land to development. We understand that growth is here, but we believe that there is a way to balance the growth while protecting land, providing open spaces, creating more parks, and placing large acres of land into conservation easements.
We are asking you to support these efforts.
On March 26, please go to https://www.thebiggivesa.org/organizations/comal-county-conservation-alliance and make a donation to support the work of CCCA to preserve land, water, and wildlife in Comal County and our part of the Texas Hill Country.

TEXAS STORMWATER SCORECARD 2020
The Texas Stormwater Scorecard evaluates the stormwater management policies of local governments across Texas to see how well they support the use of nature-based infrastructure. This year’s scorecard grades 9 Texas cities and 1 county, ranking them based on how well they make use of Nature-based Infrastructure, sometimes called Low Impact Development (LID) or Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI), to prevent water pollution, mitigate flooding, alleviate drought, and reduce urban heat.
Access the report here.
