I'm posting this here to see if either the TSA or any Texas grottoes have started planning an event for the International Year of Caves and Karst 2021. This link is to an excellent planning guide written by George Veni, the International Union of Speleology President. Events can be as simple as lectures for public and school groups, community clean-ups of trash in sinkholes or graffiti in caves to public conferences, symposia or other meetings on important cave and karst issues in your area (OK, that last one might not be so simple, and require a lot more time). Perhaps a multi-grotto event or two, or even some already planned events could also be cross-promoted as an event for the International Year of Speleology. Let's hear some ideas!
