  • Blue Ridge Grotto Expand Collapse

    The Blue Ridge Grotto is a chapter of the National Speleological Society (NSS), and has been in existence since 1969. The purpose of the grotto is “to encourage and promote the study and science of speleology; to promote the preservation, conservation and exploration of caves; to coordinate the efforts of the members; to facilitate the communication of speleological information; to encourage fellowship among those interested in spelunking (caving); and to promote safety.”

    Blue Ridge Grotto members promote cave conservation and cave safety and foster and maintain good landowner relations by always asking permission before going caving, and by honoring all cave closures. Members are involved in exploration, survey, vertical caving, cave cleanups and other cave conservation work, cave photography, outreaches to scout troops, science classes, and civic groups. Several BRG members are also trained in NCRC techniques and are on 24-hour call for cave rescues.

    The group has resumed in-person meetings on the third Friday of every month at 6:00 p.m. at Jersey Lily’s on 1650 Braeburn Dr, Salem, VA 24153. You can order and eat dinner at 6p and the meeting starts at 7p. (No meeting in September 2021, and the December 2021 will be at a BRG member’s house.) Announcements and links are sent via email.
