Introduction
On behalf of CaveSim, I want to thank the Cave Conservancy of the Virginias (CCV) for very generously supporting CaveSim events in Virginia in September and October of 2025. With CCV support, we were able to educate many children and adults about cave conservation, science, and exploration. All of the people who participated responded very enthusiastically to the programs, and we made a point of sharing information about CCV and about local grottos and the National Speleological Society (NSS) with visitors who seemed interested in learning more about cave exploration. My goal is to create several generations of people who care about caves and cave conservation, and I am very grateful to CCV for helping to advance this goal. I hope that you feel that the support is worthwhile, and I am happy to answer any questions that come up from the CCV board.
