This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Explore the fascinating world beneath the surface during this program focused on cave safety and the unique landscape of Jackson Cave. Learn how caves form within karst topography, a landscape shaped by dissolving limestone that creates features such as caves, sinkholes, springs, and underground streams. Discover how water continues to shape the land over time and why these systems are important to both wildlife and people.
Participants will also learn essential cave safety practices, including how to protect fragile cave environments, prepare for cave exploration, and stay safe in underground spaces. This program offers an introduction to the science of caves while encouraging responsible stewardship of these remarkable natural resources.
This is a great opportunity for those who may be new to caving and want a feel of what it would be like to enter the cave before going on a tour.
