We are interested in caves anywhere in the southeastern US that need protection or management for conservation or access reasons. The SCCi is particularly interested in caves that are threatened with closure or destruction or those which provide a habitat for endangered species such as the Gray Bat, Tennessee Cave Salamander, or Hart's Tongue Fern. Our mission is to preserve caves and cave environments and to manage them responsibly

  • TR Bricks to honor Chuck Henson
    The Southeastern Cave Conservancy, Inc. (SCCi) is honored that the family of Chuck Henson has selected our Tumbling Rock Cave "Buy a Brick" program to receive donations in his memory.

    Each brick is available for a donation of $100 or more. You may "buy" up to five bricks per form. Each brick will be laser-engraved with a custom message of your choice, subject to space constraints, and will be permanently installed in a patio area outside the entrance to the SCCi's Tumbling Rock Cave.

    If you don't wish to buy a whole brick, or if you can't decide on an inscription, please enter your donation amount, and just complete the donor and payment information sections. We will group your donation with other similar donations, and will have these bricks inscribed with messages as requested by Chuck's family.

Chuck was a long-time sustaining member and benefactor of the Southeastern Cave Conservancy (SCCi).He donated to the SCCi both Howards Waterfall Cave, our first preserve, and Lost Canyon Cave, our newest preserve.

  • A New (and Free!) Way to Help the SCCI Raise Money! One of our members suggested a great fundraising idea that will help the SCCi buy even more caves. The best thing about this idea is that it won't cost you a penny. What's the idea? Get a Kroger's card and use it when you buy gas or groceries. Each time you use your card to buy anything from Kroger or a Kroger affiliated company, 5% of your purchase will be donated to the SCCi. Read more...
