WVWA PROVIDES PUBLIC TOURS AND SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND PROMOTES LAND CONSERVATION THROUGH PRIVATE LANDOWNER OUTREACH PROGRAMS. THE WVWA IS INVOLVED IN OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AGENCIES, UNIVERSITIES, SCHOOLS, NONPROFITS, AND LOCAL BUSINESSES.

| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | WATERSHED PROTECTION & CONSERVATION SCIENCE - WVWA INITIATED THE CYPRESS CREEK WATERSHED PROTECTION PLAN (CCWPP) IN 2008. THE CCWPP IS A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH INVOLVING THE CITIES, COUNTY, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND CITIZENS OF THE WIMBERLEY VALLEY. THE COMMUNITY-LED AND EPA-ACCEPTED WATERSHED PROTECTION PLAN IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL THAT IS TO BE USED TO HELP GUIDE EFFORTS TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE CYPRESS CREEK WATERSHED. THE PLAN IS SCIENCE-BASED, COMMUNITY-DRIVEN, AND ADAPTIVE, AND INCLUDES A SUITE OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) DESIGNED TO MITIGATE NON POINT SOURCE POLLUTION AND ANTICIPATED FUTURE WATER QUALITY IMPAIRMENTS AND PROTECT GROUNDWATER RESOURCES. THE WVWA CONTINUES TO SERVE ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND IS PARTNERING WITH THE MEADOWS CENTER FOR WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT CCWPP EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES.

A SHARED VISION AND MISSION INSPIRES GREATER ACTION THAN ANY ONE ORGANIZATION, AGENCY, OR BRAND COULD ACHIEVE ALONE. IT IS ONLY BY INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ACROSS BOUNDARIES THAT WE CAN ENGAGE THE AGENCIES, AUTHORITIES AND COMMUNITIES AT THE GEOGRAPHIC SCALE NEEDED TO LINK ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES FOR THIS REGION. LAND CONSERVATION - THE WVWA IS FOCUSED ON CONSERVING AND MANAGING LAND TO PROTECT WATER QUALITY OF THE TRINITY AQUIFER, JACOB'S WELL, CYPRESS CREEK, AND THE BLANCO RIVER WATERSHED.
