SAFE CAVINGTHE DCG SUPPORTS CLEAN, SAFE, AND SUSTAINABLE CAVINGCLEAN: White Nose Syndrome has devastated our critical bat population. We are committed to caving in clean gear, for the sake of our wildlife. SAFE: We are here to train and advise new cavers in safe and proven methods of cave exploration. We also support our rescue squads. SUSTAINABLE: We respect the non-renewable cave environment by adhering to the NSS motto: Take only pictures, leave only careful footprints. Touching or removing formations destroys them forever. We also respect cave landowners so that other cavers can continue to explore our underground world. If a cave is closed, please go somewhere else. Report to the community the landowner’s wishes. Avoid publishing cave information on social media and unsecured websites. | Upcoming Events
