In 1977 Descent began a scheme to recognise and encourage the work of clubs and individuals in helping to preserve our underground environment. Today the Descent Adopt-a-Cave Scheme is more important than ever – without cavers maintaining our caves, our subterranean heritage would truly suffer. Joining the scheme does not confer any rights, it doesn’t help with access, but it does show that you care.
To participate, drop a line to Descent – and, of course, let us know if your club is unable to continue its involvement. In the Peak District, Conservation Officer Dave Webb acts as our agent to encourage cavers to join in and is happy to talk to people about their participation.
