About this Event
Preserve Our Hill Country Environment Foundation invites you 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.
Proceeds from this fundraiser will support the ongoing battle against the 1,500-acre open-pit mine and quarry planned 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 begin at 6:30 p.m. Gates will close at 6:45 p.m. to begin the evening, so be on time for this exciting event! A representative of 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 ticket purchase. Parking is somewhat limited, so please consider carpooling. Using rideshare services is not advisable due to the logistics of getting picked up.
Thank you to our sponsors who have graciously donated appetizers and locally grown and brewed flavors of the Hill Country: Dry Comal Creek Vineyards and Winery and Oak Valley Vineyard.
Please join us for an exciting evening you won’t soon forget!
