Conservation Trip
August 1 to August 4
Save the date for a weekend of conservation! On Saturday we will return to the RKC owned Misty Cave to check the preserve for remaining trash and debris and do some light cleanup if necessary. We will also take a trip through the cave which is an important hibernaculum for Indiana bats in the winter. On Sunday, we will explore GSP to identify and take inventory of pollinator plant species during their peak in the summer. More details to follow!
More InfoThe Central Ohio Grotto was founded in 1952. We have a rich tradition of cave exploration and are committed to the ideals of the NSS.
