The Underground Movement
Volume 18, Number 6 THE NATIONAL SPELEOLOGICAL SOCIETY June 2018
The National Speleological Society (NSS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the scientific study of caves and
karst; protecting caves and their natural contents through conservation, ownership, stewardship, and public education;
and promoting responsible cave exploration and fellowship among those interested in caves.
Close to 200 regional member organizations (called grottos) make up the backbone of the NSS. Grottos are devoted to the
training of both novice and advanced cavers, as well as to the continued development and refinement of equipment and tech-
nique for safe underground exploration. Grottos conduct meetings, organize training programs, and sponsor caving trips on a
regular basis. Interested beginners are welcome. Information on membership in the NSS and its various programs and ac-
tivities can be found on the NSS website (www.caves.org/).
Although membership in the NSS is not a requirement for joining the CCG, all CCG members are strongly encouraged
to join the NSS. In terms of educational opportunities available, acquisition of caving skills and experience, and the po-
tential for networking with other cavers on a local, regional, or even global scale, the benefits to cavers of NSS member-
ship are incalculable.
I would like to express my thanks to those who contribut-

PEABODY ON THE ROAD
― A TRIP TO TORYS CAVE ―
Danny A. Brass
On July 7, 2011, members of the Central Connecticut
Grotto (Norm Berg and Danny Brass) accompanied scien-
tists from the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, Yale Pea-
body Museum of Natural History to Torys Cave in New
Milford, CT. The purpose of the trip was an initial survey
of the cave for invertebrate fauna. The presence of inver-
tebrates in the cave has not previously been assessed.

Volume 18, Number 6 NEW REGULATIONS IMPACT THREATENED & ENDANGERED BATS June 2018
NEW REGULATIONS LIKELY TO IMPACT THREATENED & ENDANGERED BATS
All Protected Species Now Required to be Actively Looking for New Habitat in Order to
Receive Federal Funding
WASHINGTON—In an attempt to ensure that the Federal Benefit Program is not taken advantage of, a new regula-
tion announced by the administration on Tuesday will require all organisms facing extinction to be actively searching
for a new habitat in order to receive funding for their protection under the Endangered Species Act. “Effective imme-
diately, America’s at-risk species must prove that they are making a satisfactory effort to find a different ecosystem to
live in if they wish to obtain government assistance for their continued survival,” said the Secretary of the Interior,
adding that endangered creatures should not be allowed to just sit back and live on public lands at taxpayer expense
unless they agree to take steps to better their own situations. “An ‘endangered’ status isn’t a free pass, and it’s im-
portant that we put forth policies to encourage a culture of personal responsibility among our nation’s plants and ani-
mals. We’re not doing species, such as the gray bat, the Indiana bat, or the northern long-eared bat, any favors when
we allow them to live on the government’s dime, which can create a disincentive for them to secure a place in another
habitat and become self-sufficient.” At press time, the Department of the Interior announced further regulations cap-
ping the amount of time a species can remain on the endangered list at six months.
Consideration is also being given to legislation requiring all invasive species to leave the country by year’s end.
