BHS Cave Club Cave Resource Assessments

The intent of this page is to share monitoring information, studies and presentations developed by the Bigfork High School Cave Club with persons interested in conserving Montana's wonderous cave resources. The club was active for 20 years.  Club members worked in over 70  Montana caves.  Work included locating bat hibertnacula, inventory of mineral resources, transcribing historic graffiti and much more.  The club worked in close partnership with the US Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Northern Rocky Mountain Grotto and other agencies and groups.   Below is a map showing areas where the club worked  and links to the club's reports, which are  organized according to the areas  on the map.  The club's monitoring can be repeated to determine if cave resources are changing due to human impacts. and direct activies to protect fragile cave resources.  Below the reports are some of the club's studies and presentations.
