Under the Ozarks: Managing Our Underground Resources

The St. Louis area will be host to a unique and important event this Fall with the National Cave & Karst Management Symposium. It is a biennial, international gathering of cave management personnel for both government and private lands. The event provides an important forum for promoting, advancing, and sharing concepts in effective management to help protect and conserve caves, cave ecosystems, water resources and karst lands.

This year's theme for the symposium is "Cave & Karst Conservation in the Ozarks" and will be held October 8-12, 2007 at the Holiday Inn SW & Viking Conference Center in St. Louis. It will focus on the challenges and solutions for managing caves and karst in the Ozarks region.
