Mission and Purpose
of the Gadsden Grotto
The Gadsden Grotto of the National Speleological Society (NSS) was established in 1980 to promote responsible cave exploration in caves of the East Alabama area and to promote the objectives of the Southeastern Regional Association and the NSS. It is devoted to the scientific study of caves and karst features; protecting caves and their natural contents through conservation, public education; and promoting responsible cave exploration and fellowship among those interested in caves.
