🚜 A Huge Thank You to Outdoor Organics! 🦇

The Mid-Atlantic Karst Conservancy would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Outdoor Organics for their incredible work creating a new parking lot at the McClure Cave Preserve.

This project is a tremendous improvement for visitors and will help protect the surrounding property by providing a safer, more organized parking area for cavers, volunteers, and preserve guests. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to quality were evident throughout the entire project.

Thank you, Outdoor Organics, for helping improve access to one of Pennsylvania's important cave preserves. We greatly appreciate your support of conservation and the caving community!
