BEDFORD—Join Keith Dunlap and Goni Iskali from the Indiana Karst Conservancy at the IKC’s Buddha Karst Preserve to discover what is special about the limestone karst of Indiana that lies below our feet. Along this one-mile loop trail, you’ll discover karst features such as caves, pits, sinkholes, and springs.
They will discuss what is happening below the ground, why that matters to us as landowners and residents, and how this affects our water quality.
Keith Dunlap is the property manager for Buddha Karst Preserve and knows its features, such as the back of his hand. Goni Iskali is a bat biologist who recently headed up a summer acoustic survey of bats at all seven of IKC’s preserves. The two of them will lead you on a journey to discover and appreciate the caves and karst of southern Indiana and how our community’s water quality is directly related to our unique underground topography.
This program will be on Saturday, March 16, from 10:00 a.m. until Noon at the Buddha Karst Preserve, 855 Buddha Road, Bedford. The program may be in light rain, so please dress for the weather.
You will need to RSVP for the program no later than Thursday, March 14 by calling 812-279-8117 ext. 3
This program is put on by Lawrence County Soil & Water Conservation District, Lower Salt Creek Watershed Project, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Department of Natural Resources, and Indiana Karst Conservancy.
