Bracken Cave Bat Experience

The Foundation Preserve Our Hill Country Environment invites the community to experience one of the great wonders of the natural world: the spiraling emergence of over 15 million Mexican free-tailed bats as they begin their evening hunt.

The proceeds from this fundraiser will support the ongoing battle against the 1,500-acre open-pit mine and quarry. It is being led by Vulcan Materials between Bulverde and New Braunfels—just four miles north of Bracken Cave. Bat Conservation International will also receive a portion of the proceeds. Hors d’oeuvres, beer, and wine will be served at 6:30 p.m.

A representative of the Bracken Cave Preserve will give a bat talk at the cave, and the bats are expected to emerge at approximately 8:00 p.m. Directions and additional event details will be forwarded following a ticket purchase.
