Wolf Caves

The Eckert James River Bat Cave Preserve, located in Mason, Texas, is home to one of the largest bat nurseries in the nation, housing about 4 million female bats from May to September. The preserve's history is deeply rooted in bat conservation, with the cave being donated to The Nature Conservancy in 1990 to ensure the permanent protection of the bats. Owned by The Nature Conservancy, the Eckert James River Bat Cave Preserve continues to uphold a tradition of public enjoyment and education, as mandated by the Eckert family. Visitors can witness millions of Mexican free-tailed bats emerging from the cave each evening, contributing to regional ecology through seed dispersal, pollination, and insect population control.Generated from the website
