New knowledge is discovered through searching and investigating sites as a team. Our findings are studied, documented, and then recorded for sharing. Our ultimate goal is to work with the landowners to have these sacred sites protected from future development.
Bear Spirit Mountain

How You Can Help...
There are a number of ways you can help us. “Currently our team needs safer access to the ‘Owenvsv Cave.’ We are eager to explore it, but heavy rains caused erosion on the ‘goat path’ trail, leaving it extremely hazardous to climb. Our goal is to build steps going up the cliff from the Potomac River to provide an improved climb and direct route.”
Estimated Cost of Project: $1200
