Description

Experience the spiraling emergence of over 15 million Mexican free-tailed bats (world's largest colony) as they begin their evening hunt. Preserve Our Hill Country Environment and Stop 3009 Vulcan Quarry cordially invite 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 Bat Conservation International and 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.  Directions and additional event details will be forwarded following ticket purchase. Hors d'oeuvres, beer, and wine begin at 6:30 p.m. Bats emerge at approximately 8:00 p.m. Thank you to our sponsors who have graciously donated appetizers and locally grown and brewed flavors of the Hill Country: Dry Comal Creek Vineyards. Please join us for an exciting evening you won’t soon forget! Preserve Our Hill Country Environment Foundation (dba Stop 3009 Vulcan Quarry, Friends of Dry Comal Creek) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed to preserve, protect, and restore the land, water, air, wildlife, unique features, and quality of life in the Texas Hill Country from the aggressive and insufficiently regulated expansion of the aggregate industry. We actively oppose the 1500-acre open-pit limestone quarry proposed by Vulcan Materials in a residential area of central Comal County, between Bulverde and New Braunfels.
