Westcave Preserve a part of Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center, Round Mountain

In 1976, a group of like-minded people came together with one goal: to restore the Hill Country Grotto to its previous state of beauty and tranquility. Nearly 40 years later, the Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center considers that mission accomplished, and the team behind it has moved on to a new endeavor. Today, it advocates for protecting nature and helping others, especially young people, to fall in love with the great outdoors. Leading the Children in Nature Collaborative of Austin, kids are taught to be comfortable out in the wild at an early age.
