On October 13, 1994 the Texas Cave Conservancy was created in New Braunfels, Texas. Bob Finger, Sandi Moerbe, Stan Moerbe, Gary Napper, Jack Ralph, Mike Walsh, Mike Warton and others started the TCC. This is the 17th Anniversary of the organization.

This non-member, non-profit, 501 (c) (3) Texas Corporation is dedicated to the protection of caves, cave life, and aquifers as related to caves. We work through public education, scientific research and cave management by assisting land developers, municipalities, other non-profit organizations and private land- owners in the protection and management of caves. We are involved in cave management activities in over sixty cave preserves in the Austin, Texas area. We are involved in the management of over two hundred and fifty caves.

The Texas Cave Conservancy is working with the City of Cedar Park to develop a fire response plan at the Westside Cave Preserves, Cedar Park, Texas. The map under development will provide information to the Fire Department that will allow them rapid access to the cave preserves in the event of fire. The initial phase is now in effect.

On September 18, 2011 Photographer Benedict Kim, Eunice Kim and Mike Walsh went to Avery Ranch Cave to photograph the cave. The result is this amazing photo display. Avery Ranch Cave Panoramic View
