New South Wales Speleo Council Projects Register

Contact Denis Marsh denis.marsh@hotmail.com to submit your project.

It has been the vision of the NSW Speleological Council, for some time now, to foster, encourage and celebrate efforts to further studies in Speleology by member club's in NSW. This focus has been further strengthened by the recent acceptance of the Australian Speleological Federation as an Environmental Organisation by the Department of Environment and Heritage.

Many members around the state have already and are currently undertaking project works. Areas of study have so far included: Mapping and Surveying, Historical Documentation projects, Cleaning and Rubbish removal, Re-vegetation and Fencing, Hydrology studies, Cave Mineral studies and Bat studies.

Advertising your club projects in the NSWSC project register has many advantages. It:
communicates with other members of the speleological community who have similar interests or who are undertaking similar studies.
is a way of advertising to other members your project trips where you may need more participants.
documents the significant contribution to Speleology made by NSW member clubs to others in the caving community.

Clubs are encouraged to submit their projects onto the register for distribution to other NSW clubs. Entice more research assistants onto your project today!
