About this Special Event
The “Well Informed” Texas Well Owner Network (TWON) program is an educational program that gives well owners the opportunity to have their well water samples screened for common contaminants including fecal coliform, E. coli bacteria, nitrates, arsenic and high salinity. The screening of the water samples is followed by a one-hour explanation of the results, water well protection practices and focuses on wellhead protection and recommendations for remediating well contamination.

LAND MAITENANCE FUNDING FOR 2025
Land maintenance funding for landowners is available through the Camp Bullis Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) for land management practices that help reach your land stewardship goals. Conservation work in this region also supports the mission and training capabilities of Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis and the goals of the Camp Bullis Sentinel Landscape Partnership.

The program will run throughout 2025.
More than $2 million in funding has been utilized for conservation activities that include improving riparian areas, water quality, native plant communities, soil health, rangelands, and wildlife habitat. So far, there have been 914 acres of Hill Country land protected through this program.

Priorities
The priorities of this project involve addressing ecological resource concerns that will benefit both the mission of Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis and the land stewards and residents in the project area.
​
Land Management Resource Concerns
The ecological concerns and priorities in the project area are water quality and conservation, plant health and restoration of our native plant communities, soil quality, and improving habitat for grazing and wildlife.
​
Land Management Practices
To address these resource concerns, eligible practices are selected as the tools and processes to get conservation on the ground.
Eligible land management practices will focus on water quality and riparian health including planting and protecting vegetative buffers around waterways. Waterways that are named and flowing into Camp Bullis will have a higher priority for funding.
​
Other practices will be used to improve and restore upland communities. These practices will include prescribed grazing, selective brush management, and native plant restoration for wildlife and pollinator species. Practices will be also used to improve soil health.
Our project specialists will meet with you and design a conservation plan that will specifically meet your needs and the needs of the land. Funding will be attached to these conservation plans to aid in implementation.
