The vision of Project Underground is that people will make wise, informed, choices as they manage cave, karst and groundwater resources to protect the underground ecosystems for the health of current and future generations. To accomplish this vision, Project Underground serves to build the necessary awareness and responsible attitudes towards cave, karst and groundwater resources and their management needs among the general public through educational and interpretive programs.

curriculum

The Project Underground Education Program provides materials and activities on karst resources. The lessons in the Project Underground guide can be used to teach citizens of all ages about karst topography and the management needs of the karst resources. Use these materials with students in classrooms and in outreach programs with citizens and agency staff.

Karst is defined as landscape underlain by limestone that has been eroded by dissolution, producing ridges, towers, fissures, sinkholes, and other characteristic landforms.

Project Underground is transitioning to the Southeastern Cave Conservancy, Inc. (SCCi). Updates on curriculum and workshops will be coming soon. To learn more about the SCCi, visit saveyourcaves.org.
