Sunday June 6 has been proclaimed Austin Cave Day by the mayor and city council. Councilwoman Leslie Pool reads the proclamation in a video and thanks cavers for their effort in uncovering widespread filled caves. Check out the website with the proclamation video, virtual cave tours, cave art, the 2021 International Year of Karst and Caves site and video, and more: https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.austintexas.gov%2Fcaves&data=04%7C01%7CNico.Hauwert%40austintexas.gov%7Cf8f7e72a7cbc4b9c704908d91651ff6f%7C5c5e19f6a6ab4b45b1d0be4608a9a67f%7C0%7C0%7C637565363688540135%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=rWGAIe9cqUIsvnkn%2BUGrmygeKpmkLPYB2uOzWcypufk%3D&reserved=0 State representative Donna Howard sponsored a cave art exhibit at the Capitol that ended last week. Next you can catch it at the Austin Airport.
The proclamation was petitioned by National Karst and Cave Research Institute (George Veni), Texas Speleological Survey (Jim Kennedy), Texas Cave Management Association (Joe Ranzau), UT Grotto (Ethan Perrine and Eleonore LaCrovasier), Merlin Tuttle's Bat Conservancy, and the City of Austin. Artist Barbara Attwell took great initiative to make it happen. We are very fortunate having this acknowledgement from CW Pool (District 7 | AustinTexas.gov <http://austintexas.gov/department/district-7>) and representative Howard (Texas House of Representatives : E-Mail Rep. Howard, Donna <https://www.house.texas.gov/members/member-page/email/?district=48&session=87>). If you feel inclined you can thank them. Of course Austin is extremely lucky having such an active community of cavers too! -- Nico Hauwert, Ph.D. 2403 Bahama Road Austin, Texas 78733 01-512-695-4597 nmhauw...@gmail.com
