PROTECT
OUR
PINEY WOODS
While we fight one solar facility at a time, industrial developers are quietly lining up 58 major projects across East Texas — massive solar arrays, battery storage systems, data centers, and wind farms — all targeting our Piney Woods region. Once these projects are built, our land will be changed forever. Thousands of acres of timber and farmland will be cleared. Our aquifers and lakes will face a permanent risk of contamination. Our rural communities, property values, and way of life will be transformed. This is not progress — it is irreversible destruction. We cannot afford to fight these battles in isolation. The time is now to see the full picture and stand together across Anderson, Henderson, Cherokee, Rusk, Navarro, Angelina, and Nacogdoches counties.
"The nations raged, but Your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding Your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear Your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destoyers of the earth"

About Us
Stop turning our forests, farmlands, and family legacies into toxic industrial wastelands. Stop risking our drinking water, property values, and rural way of life for corporate profits.
The Protect Our Piney Woods Coalition wasn’t born in a boardroom or by political design—it was formed in the heat of a town hall meeting where our community finally said, "Enough." What began as a local gathering exploded into a powerful grassroots movement, fueled by the collective alarm of neighbors who refused to stand by and watch the total destruction of our ecosystem. The momentum was undeniable from day one. With thousands of residents signing in opposition and hundreds more packing the town hall to ask how they could help, a clear mandate emerged. We are a unified front of farmers, families, and concerned citizens who recognize that our rural way of life is under threat.
Our Mission
Our goal is to protect our water, preserve our local resources, protect our property values, and ensure that our precious environment isn't sacrificed for industrial gain. We believe that true progress should never come at the cost of the very resources that sustain us. This is our home, and we are here to defend it.
URGENT ALERT: THE INDUSTRIAL DOMINO EFFECT. Data centers are surging toward our borders, directly following the solar footprint. This isn't just about panels; it's a massive industrial chain reaction that threatens to consume Nacogdoches County and all of rural Texas. We must act now before the dominoes fall.
