Hill Country Alliance Sponsors Field Day to Teach Soil Erosion Prevention Best Practices - March 28, 2026

The Hill Country Alliance (HCA) is sponsoring the Hillside Stewardship Workshop on Saturday, March 28th for Hill Country landowners interested in reducing erosion, enhancing groundwater infiltration, and boosting plant productivity.

The group will be hosted at Pure Pastures Ranch in Canyon Lake, TX for this hands-on field day. The soil preservation information will be presented by Dr. Mollie Walton, a restoration ecologist with more than 30 years of experience helping landowners restore land productivity. Participants will learn how to read the landscape in order to determine where and how to build erosion control structures featured in HCA's Hillside Stewardship Guide. These low-tech strategies for slowing and sinking water have rippling benefits for soil moisture, drought resilience, and habitat enhancement.

Space is limited, so make sure to sign up soon. To learn more and register, click this link: Register Here.

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.
