Your Watershed News

2025 Watershed Magazine, Upcoming Events, and more.

As we welcome a new year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our work together to sustain Hill Country land and water.  Our region continues to face complex pressures: rapid growth, prolonged drought, and increasing demands on our shared natural resources, but our community continues to rise to meet ongoing challenges with imagination, stewardship, and resolve.



Today, we’re proud to share our seasonal report - our first edition of the Watershed Magazine. This edition illustrates the commitment and multifaceted approach required to create lasting environmental protection. In 2025, we cultivated young leaders, strengthened and expanded community engagement, and leaned into the science and policy needed to safeguard our springs, creeks, and rivers long into the future.



We invite you to explore the full report and discover all the ways we created region-wide impact this year.

As we look ahead, the work of protecting the Hill Country’s water and landscapes remains both urgent and profoundly hopeful. The stories in this year’s report reflect what can be achieved when a community collectively cares for its natural systems. The Watershed Association is expanding conservation lands and advancing groundwater protections to deepen regional collaboration and grow the next generation of environmental leaders, all with the same purpose - to steward our natural landscapes.


 Watershed protection is not a single initiative, but an ongoing process shaped by science, collaboration, and a shared understanding that the health of our land and water directly influences the health of our communities.


As we move toward year-end, we invite you to help carry this momentum into 2026. A year-end gift to the Watershed Association directly supports the conservation, monitoring, education, and advocacy efforts. Your support fortifies the work needed to protect spring flows, improve water quality, sustain community programs, and ensure that decisions about our region’s future are grounded in science and resilience.


Donate to protect our springs, creeks, and rivers.


Your partnership makes this work possible. 
Your generosity keeps our Watershed strong.
