About the Medina River Protection Fund

The Medina River Protection Fund is an advised fund of the Bandera Community Foundation, a 501c(3) non-profit public charity. The Fund was setup by the Lake Medina Conservation Society (LAMCOS) and friends of the river working with the Bandera Community Foundation. The purpose of the Fund is to provide ongoing support for the annual river cleanup, which is necessary to conserve this valuable natural resource.

The cleanup effort has proven to be an invaluable endeavor. For example, following the flood of 2002, more than 175 volunteers from around the state removed more than five large dumpsters of man-made debris from 50 miles of the river.
