Our Mission

Don't Blow It mobilizes Texans to defend Val Verde County's irreplaceable & primal wilderness & history from immediate threats—blocking destructive transmission lines, exposing foreign land grabs, and stopping the industrialization of Texas's last intact frontier before it's fragmented forever.

Don’t Blow It Fund (“DBIF”) is a 501(c)(4) advocacy organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the Devils River, its springs, and the lands within its watershed. We ensure this uniquely pristine water resource remains a natural and scenic treasure for generations of Texans.

Don't Blow It Texas is a coalition-driven campaign protecting the Devils River watershed from inappropriate industrial encroachment development. We support renewable energy and progress but oppose the incursion of the Howard-Solstice Project of 765kV lines across virgin country to electrify the Permian Basin as well as the negative effects that wind turbine fields has on the local ecosystem and environment.
