Texas Cave Conservancy Headquarters
It took ten years for the Texas Cave Conservancy to obtain a home. We moved into that home in 2004. Located at the
intersection of Lakeline Boulevard and West Park Street in Cedar Park, Texas, it is almost perfect for cavers. From
the headquarters we can reach seventeen cave preserves with our Polaris Ranger ATV. This makes the TCC work of cave
monitoring and park building much easier.
The house is a large ranch style structure surrounded by large Oak trees. There is even one cave in the back yard.
Wilcox Cave # 2 is a fifteen-foot pit with a room that extends under the house. Two additional caves Wilcox Cave # 1 and
Wilcox Cave # 3 are located on the four acres. The TCC headquarters, the three endangered species caves are all part of the
Wilcox Nature Preserve.

The Texas Cave Conservancy Headquarters has proven to be extremely valuable in our cave management,
education and scientific research efforts. Cavers and non-cavers throughout the year use our Library.
Recently, a local Boy Scout organized a computer work session to enter our library information into Excel.
This list of our books and other publications is on line at this site. In addition, the TCC hosts several meeting
throughout the year from this location.
Caver meetings, parties and work sessions come together at the TCC Headquarters. This year the Texas Speleological Association
will hold their annual Convention here in Cedar Park. The campground and the headquarters will be used as part of that event.
There is even a caver wedding planned for September at this site. Caver visitors throughout the world are offered a home away
from home. In July of 2009, the International Congress of Speleology held their Convention in Kerrville, Texas. The TCC offered
tours of the cave preserves and a place to stay during the event.
The photo below is of several Lebanese cavers that stayed here in Cedar Park.
The house and the four acres are all part of the Wilcox Nature Preserve named for former owner, Bertha Wilcox.
Working with Mike Warton, she took steps to gate and protect the cave related endangered species sites on her property.
The lake in the photo above, owned by the City of Austin, is behind the Wilcox Nature Preserve.
