NSS Volunteer Value Database
The NSS Conservation Division is excited to bring to you a BETA VERSION online volunteer value database. This database will contain your volunteer value information for inclusion in NSS Reports, grant application processes, cave management proposals, keeping fee demo down, providing information to government agencies and karst protection efforts. Volunteer Value represents huge contributions to caves on private, state, and federal lands. Cavers give significantly to the protection, exploration, scientific investigation, conservation, and preservation of cave and karst resources, and through the Volunteer Value program this important work is quantified, recorded and recognized.
We need your Volunteer Value for all projects - survey, cartography, inventory, science, administration, restoration, and conservation. Include in-cave work as well as preparation and documentation.
In the future we will be able to provide reports on all the hard work cavers do for use by government agencies, NSS Grant committees, and the cavers themselves.
See the Volunteer Value Website for more information on what Volunteer Value is, the FS agreement, and sample volunteer value forms.
