What the committee does:
The NSS Preserves & Acquisitions Committee manages all caves and karst lands owned by the NSS and ensures consistency across our portfolio in conjunction with our dedicated network of Preserve Managers.
This team also oversees the NSS Land Acquisition grants program, which provides funding to non-profit cave conservancies, Land Trusts, and similar conservation organizations for protection of caves. They also review potential properties for inclusion in the NSS Nature Preserve network whether through donation, purchase or joint management agreements.
