The purpose of
Project Underground is to create and build awareness of and responsible attitudes toward karst, groundwater and cave resources and their management needs. The project is an environmental education program designed to promote better understanding of karst lands, groundwater in karst and caves. It is a supplemental program for use by educators of kindergarten through high school age students. Participants in Project Underground activities will gain an understanding of how the underground environment is an important part of the total environment.
 
Project Underground activities are in the Natural Resource Education Guide. It was designed by educators and experts in the various disciplines of speleology. The activities are interdisciplinary and level-correlated. The guide is divided into subject areas with background information provided in each section.
