Bedford, IN- March 11, 2024. Join us with 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. You’ll discover karst features such as caves, pits, sinkholes, and springs along this one-mile loop trail. We will discuss what is happening below the ground and why that matters to us as landowners and residents and how this effects our water quality. Keith Dunlap is the Property Manager for Buddha Karst Preserve and knows its features like the back of his hand. Goni Iskali is a bat biologist and recently headed up a summer acoustic survey of bats at all the IKC’s 7 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 March 16th from 10am-12pm at the Buddha Karst Preserve- 855 Buddha Road, Bedford. Program will still be held in light rain, so please dress for weather.
