Welcome! The Devils River Conservancy (DRC) is a community of advocates dedicated to treasure, preserve and protect the Devils River, its springs, and the lands within its water catchment area.
The Devils River is a 100% spring-fed river and largely considered one of the last wild and pristine rivers in Texas. It has remained this way largely because of its remote location and the staunch character of its heritage stewards. Times are changing, threats are growing, and now more than ever we must work together to protect what remains of wild Texas.
In recent years the Devils has come under threat—from recreational abuse, the fragmentation of its watershed, industrial energy encroachment, and water marketers who see “excess groundwater” in the Devils River watershed and want to pump and pipe it away to our state’s growing urban areas.
Through education, research and advocacy, the DRC works to ensure the river's clean, clear waters will continue to flow according to their historical and natural regimes for generations to come.
We invite you to learn more about what we do and who we are.
It's not easy to save a river. You can help. Become a Devils Advocate®!
