Austin Guerrero

San Marcos has experienced some very dry summers the past few years. Bobcat Update's Austin Guerrero reports on what might happen if the drought continues.


The San Marcos River is home to hundreds of plant and animal species. Some are endangered when water levels go down. Efforts are underway to conserve the river. Ben Taylor works at the Meadows Center at Texas State.

While some regard the Meadows Center as merely a tourist attraction, Taylor and the center's staff see it much more than that. From the glass-bottom boat rides to the exhibits, their job is to send a message -- The river and aquifer are important historically and scientifically.
SBSewell Park and tubing down the river are part of the San Marcos tradition, but it's great every once in a while to remember that preserving the plants and animals that live there is vital. For Bobcat Update, I'm Austin Guerrero.
