Recent examples of CNCC Cave Conservation Projects (and how to get external funding)
30 minute Lecture|Andrew Hinde
Abstract
Over the last 15 years the CNCC has undertaken dozens of cave conservation projects each year. Many have trialled new techniques and materials which have now become commonplace. This work benefits all northern cavers and goes a long way to maintain good cave access relations with landowners and managers. The majority of the projects have been externally funded by partner organisations. This makes your BCA membership fees go a lot further in other areas such as Training etc.
