WEST VIRGINIA CAVE CONSERVANCY

The West Virginia Cave Conservancy, Inc., (WVCC) is a volunteer, nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation, chartered in West Virginia. Donations are tax-deductible!... The WVCC was formed in 1997 to preserve caves and karst features, and preserve access to caves and karst features, in West Virginia. The formation of WVCC was necessitated by increasing pressures on West Virginia karst areas; due in part to population growth, and increased liability concerns on the part of landowners... WVCC's approach to conserving cave resources has been multifaceted, including hands-on clean-ups, providing talks about caves and karst to civic groups, creating and distributing educational materials, recommending legislation, and managing and acquiring caves.
