Hill Country Preservation Coalition

The Hill Country Preservation Coalition is  a grassroots coalition of land owners and conservation groups committed to preserving the pristine Hill country and our neighboring regions. We aim to protect Texas’s most iconic river basins. We do this through prevention of needless ecological damage and fragmentation of the Texas Hill Country to the benefit of all who enjoy the region.

Our Current Focus

Howard-Solstice Transmission Line

American Electric Power (AEP) and CPS Energy have recently proposed the construction of a 765kv high-voltage transmission line that would cut through large portions of the Texas Hill Country. The hearing is MAY 19-22nd with the final decision coming on/before Aug. 29th. NOW is our time to influence these groups along with the Public Utility Commission of Texas to consider slowing down this process and finding a less harmful route. We need you, your neighbors, and organizations in our region to know the impact this level of infrastructure will have on the region.
