Cavers,
The TCMA will be performing a cricket emergence count at the Lost Oasis Cave Preserve in south Austin on Wednesday 29 February. This is an
excellent opportunity for a couple of interested volunteers to come out with us and learn what is involved with this biological monitoring
technique. The Preserve Manager really only needs two people to participate in the training. First responses to Ron Ralph at
ronra...@austin.rr.com <mailto:ronra...@austin.rr.com> get on the list. Others are welcome to just show up and observe if they wish. Ron
will send the address and a map to participants who need such. Todd Bayless, the Natural Resources Specialist for Travis County (their karst
guy) will be doing the training. There may also be a discussion on red imported fire ant surveys and treatments. Meeting time at the
preserve is 5:30 pm. For more details, contact Ron.

TCMA Preserves Chairman
