WCC Offers Conservation Grants
by Marianne Russo, Preserve Manager
Published: Summer, 2008

WCC is looking to support the good work being done by outside groups. Throughout the Western states people who love caves have gathered together in groups large and small for various reasons: to enjoy caves, socialize, improve their skills, and also to protect caves. Of course, that latter task is most relevant to WCC, and we want to help.

Often these groups don’t have the funds they need to complete gating or other conservation projects, and we offer conservation grants to bridge the financial gap. In 2006 the Conservancy helped Timpanogos Grotto gate Nutty Putty cave in Utah. We’re looking for other worthy projects, so if you have one in mind, please send email to mail@westerncaves.org and request our short grant application.
