Credit: Al Hicks, New York Dept. of Environmental Conservation For more information about this report, contact: Mollie Matteson, Conservation Advocate Center for Biological Diversity, Northeast Field Office PO Box 188 Richmond, Vermont 05477 802-434-2388 [email protected] Center for Biological Diversity, Federal Cave Closures 2 Bats, White-nose Syndrome, and Federal Cave and Mine Closures Delay is the deadliest form of denial. ~~C. Northcote Parkinson, British historian, 1909-1993 Executive Summary In the span of just four winters, a deadly new disease called white-nose syndrome (WNS) that devastates bat populations has spread rapidly across the country from east to west. The bat illness was first documented in a cave in upstate New York in 2006, and as of spring 2010, the white- nose pathogen had been reported as far west as western Oklahoma (see Figure 1). In affected bat colonies, mortality rates have reached as high as 100 percent, virtually emptying caves once harboring tens of thousands of bats and leaving cave floors littered with the innumerable small bones of the dead. At least six bat species are known to be susceptible, and the fungus associated with the disease has been found on another three species. Two federally listed endangered bat species are among those affected thus far. Scientists and conservationists are gravely concerned that if current trends continue, one or more bat species could become extinct in the next couple of decades or sooner.

  • YGLC Info for Cavers FINAL1~09
    www.caves.org Youth Group Caving Legal Issues and General Information for the Experienced Caver Prepared by the Youth Groups Liaison Committee of the National Speleological Society and NSS members Introduction Make a difference Have you ever met an ill-equipped youth group in a cave that exceeded the group's skill level? You may have encountered a cave being vandalized by youths who didn't know any better. Do you think caves would benefit from more professionals in cave management and the cave-related sciences? By working with youth groups who plan to go caving, you can have a positive effect in all of these areas. Not only can you provide a quality caving experience for the youths, but most importantly, you can also instill in them sound principles for safe caving, as well as a good conservation ethic. You can be the one who infuses them with an appreciation for the value of caves and their contents that they will carry with them into adulthood. It is these youths who will be making decisions that will affect caves and cave areas in the future. A very good way to accomplish this is by working through national youth organizations. Girl Scouts USA, Boy Scouts of America, 4-H, church youth groups, youth summer camps, schools, and at-risk youth groups provide the framework that makes educating young people about caves and caving easier and safer for all. Some cavers really enjoy working with youth. Guiding a well-trained and well- behaved youth group through a cave can be a highly rewarding experience.

  • Environmental Change at Kartchner Caverns: Trying to Separate Natural and Anthropogenic Changes
    Environmental Change at Kartchner Caverns: Trying to Separate Natural and Anthropogenic Changes Rickard S. Toomey, III, and Ginger Nolan Kartchner Caverns State Park, Arizona State Parks, Benson, AZ Abstract—Cave temperature and moisture levels are important factors in the environmental health of Kartchner Caverns. Monitoring indicates the cave has warmed and moisture levels have fallen over the past 14 years. Timing and patterns of change within the cave suggest that changes are due to development as a show cave. However, changes in other caves, surface temperature and precipitation, and in shallow local aquifers suggest that cave changes relate to regional patterns. Changes at Kartchner Caverns represent a combination of anthropogenic and regional natural causes. Separating these different factors is an important on-going goal in protecting the cave. Kartchner Caverns State Park (KCSP) is a show cave in The primary long-term temperature and humidity data southeastern Arizona. The cave was discovered in 1974 and from the cave come from Environmental Monitoring Stations became a State Park in 1988 (Tufts and Tenen 1999). After (EMS) within the cave (figure 1).

Missouri Speleological Survey President's Message October 2018. Despite the foreboding forecast of biblical rains, the Fall MSS meeting at Current River State Park was a great time. Before the weekend began, we had a long list of objectives and a sizable group of cavers expected to come, as well as ambitious plans for a large map and gear display for the public. Weathermen across the region however, conspired to keep people home with predictions of heavy rain throughout the weekend and flash flood warnings across the state. As the weekend drew nearer, the number of cavers bowing out increased by the day. Nevertheless, while it did rain all day Friday and poured on us during the drive down Friday night, the rest of the weekend was fairly dry and beautiful. The Current didn't rise, so one small group monitored caves via kayak and a much larger group went to Echo Bluff State Park to work on graffiti removal, left over the Camp Zoe events, as well as to perform a bio survey, per request of the park, to see whether the cave closure had any noticeable impact on the presence of cave life.

    SUBTERRANEAN RENOVATIONS THE UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL SPACES OF SHOW CAVES Under America’s surficial terrain, another landscape lurks, where built and natural forms blend to create unusual spaces, in some of the more compelling tourist caves in the United States. ike an elaborate stage for an audienceless performance, spectacular natural caves L formed and transformed over the ages in the unseen world of the underground. Typically evolving drop by drop, as the earth melted away with the natural dissolution of limestone, strange sculptural creations grew in hollow cracks and capacious chambers; white curtains of speleothems like frozen waterfalls and delicate dioramas of stalactites mutated in geologic slow motion. Shallow pools of still water would mirror seemingly limitless distances, were it not for the absence of light, and sounds would echo, oddly magnified, except for the near total silence. When modern humans came into this subterranean world, first as explorers, then as tour- ists, they brought with them both light and sound, as well as shovels, cement, electricity, postcards, and even fried chicken. From the first lantern-led tours through Mammoth Cave in the early 1800's to the drive-through caves of today, the two hundred or so caves in the country that have been opened to the public (out of over 30,000 caves discovered in the United States so far) have been transformed by the interests of tourism and the fancy of cave owners and promoters. Most modifications to the natural cave are of a practical nature, made in order to accom- modate visitors. New cave entrances are blasted to allow more convenient access, path- ways are installed to allow visitors to move easily along the otherwise uneven cave floor, and lighting of some type is installed to make the formations and pathways visible.

Missouri Speleological Survey - President's Message - April 2019 by Dan Lamping. Our spring board meeting is quickly approaching on the weekend of May 3-5, 2019 at the Ozark Underground Laboratory (OUL) in Protem, MO within Taney County. The focus of the weekend won't be the board meeting itself, but rather to kick-off a resurvey effort of Tumbling Creek Cave to make a complete, up-to-modern-standards map for use within a GIS platform. Tumbling Creek is a roughly two mile long cave and home to a rare cave snail. The idea for the project was initiated by OUL owner Tom Aley and then further encouraged by Scott House. This will be an open project of the MSS, so those willing to actively help in the survey are welcome to attend. No experience is needed to participate, but an interest in learning is a must. If you have question about the cave trip please contact me at [email protected] Other caving opportunities will be available within the nearby Mark Twain National Forest for those who want to do their own thing.
