OUTDOOR PROGRAMS SUSPENDS CAVING ACTIVITIES DUE TO SPREAD OF WHITE NOSE SYNDROME White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a malady of unknown origin that has killed hundreds of thousands of bats across the northeast United States during the past three years and continues unchecked. WNS threatens many federally endangered bat species as well as some of the largest bat populations in the country and has now been confirmed in caves in Virginia. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has requested a voluntary moratorium on on all caving activity in states known to have hibernacula affected by WNS, and all adjoining states, unless conducted as part of an agency-sanctioned research or monitoring project. In compliance with a call for a voluntary moratorium, outdoor programs will suspend all caving activities until further notice. learn more...
