Close encounters with caves
Tuesday, August 3, 2021 by Tai Moses
Past entries in the Wild Neighbors Speaker Series have enlightened their online audience about bats, armadillos, snakes and crazy ants. The latest edition in the popular series plumbs the mysteries of another quintessentially Texan marvel – caves. Balcones Canyonlands Preserve cave biologist Colin Strickland will lead a “virtual dive into the refreshingly cool, dark world beneath our feet. Colin will show photos and videos of the commonly encountered organisms in Central Texas caves, starting at the cave entrance and working his way deeper underground.” Friday, Aug. 27, noon-1 p.m. Register for the webinar here.
