Some of us know a cool dude when we see one – and David Bamberger is a cool dude. One of the founders of Church’s Fried Chicken, Bamberger is now known for his innovative land restoration policies in Texas’ famed Hill Country. Who do you know that built a giant cave to attract free tailed bats? Bamberger did. He now has a colony of 400,000 hanging out at his pad. Batman to the recuse!
Did I mention his herd of endangered scimitar-horned oryx? Yeehaw!
This guy is no slouch. It took him a few decades, but the drumstick guru did what most eco-freaks only dream of – restored a big slab of broken landscape into something approaching what it was intended to be.
Adios, I’m gone to Texas…. via NPR online.
