Welcome to the first edition of the Westcave Preserve E-Newsletter.  We look forward to keeping you informed about all the exciting upcoming events at Westcave.
  Hill Country Roundtable

The Hill Country Roundtable was initiated in 1996 to build citizen-based planning initiatives in the semi-rural and rural areas of the Texas Hill Country. The Roundtable addresses the growth pressures facing this unique region of our state. TCPS works with landowners, local officials, and others in a collaborative approach to protect the quality of life and the natural heritage of the Texas Hill Country. The project includes regular roundtables, workshops, a periodic newsleter and technical and policy assistance.
