Conservation - Protecting Non Renewable Resources

Protecting Caves for Future Generations

ESSO hopes that future generations have a chance to enjoy the beauty and wonder of caves as much as we do today.

To ensure the natural beauty remains through the years, ESSO promotes conservation in many ways. We teach new members to "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, & kill nothing but time", participate in cave cleanings, and more.

For more info on conservation and the NSS's and ESSO's efforts to protect our non renewable resources, research thru the following links and info.
