Welcome to Virginia Cave Week
Virginia Cave Week promotes an understanding of Virginia's caves and the surrounding limestone habitats known as karst. Sponsored by the Virginia Cave Board, the week is used to highlight the importance of caves and karst and provide resources and educational opportunities to engage the community in conservation efforts. Educators are encouraged to involve their students using in-class activities and visitation to the state's numerous commercial caves.
This website is a resource for material related to cave and karst education. Check out the different tabs for information and links having to do with caves, karst-related education, classroom activities, virtual caves, and more. Enjoy.
