GIVE SOMETHING BACK TO YOUR LOCAL CAVING COMMUNITY.
WE JUST NEED YOUR HELP FOR A FEW HOURS! IF YOU CAVE AT WHIRLPOOL, IF
YOU HAVE CAVED AT WHIRLPOOL, IF YOU'RE A TCMA MEMBER, IF YOU'RE NOT....
COME ON OUT AND HELP US FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
Reminder for cavers who will be in Austin this Sat.
CLEANUP: WHIRLPOOL PRESERVE
TIME: 9-12
NEEDED: loppers and any type of tools that can cut small brush and weeds.
I'll bring trash bags, gloves, all the tools I can gather, we're meeting at the
preserve at 9. PLAN: Trash pickup and weed whacking. All trash will be hauled
off site on Sat. and ALL
brush will be stacked to increase the berm along the south end of the preserve
to hopefully reduce some of our tresspassing issues by off road vehicles.
In the past month or so, WP has been the unfortunate recipient of not only lots
of illegal dumping, littering from the hiway overhead but, has also been the
scene of numerous vandalism attempts to break into the cave. Measures have
been taken to beef up our current access system process.
With all this negative attention, we need to rally and spruce the
preserve up so we can keep a better eye on what's happening. After all, YOU
ALL are our eyes and ears on the karst.
Without you all, and without your support, all we have is a bunch of holes in
the ground. With you all and with your support, we have a community, we have
caves to visit, and new caves to discover. So, come on out and support one of
your local CAVES by helping us cleanup the preserve.
Thanks,
jules
