• The Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District holds its annual Austin Cave Festival at the Village of Western Oaks Karst Preserve on Saturday, Oct. 28. Attendees can embark on caving adventures into the preserve's Live Oak and Get Down Caves and learn about the 9-acre preserve's six karst features, the species of concern that dwell there, and how to creatively protect water quality and save H20. The latter is more crucial than ever this year since Edwards Aquifer remains in a critical-stage drought. Festival guests can cheer up with Halloween story time and karst sing-alongs down in the caves, check out bats up close, and learn about other Austin animals that call caves home. The free event is located at La Cresada and Davis Lane just west of MoPac, from 9am-4pm. See www.bseacd.org/western_oaks.htm. – D.M.
