The James River Grotto (JRG) is a local chapter of the National Speleological Society (NSS).  We have been serving cavers from Lynchburg, Virginia and the surrounding areas since 1989.  We are a dedicated group of cavers who are committed to the principals of cave preservation and conservation, and to safe caving techniques.  Click here to learn learn more about our Grotto, or click here to locate a grotto near you.
