On February 7, 2009, the Board of the Southeastern Cave Conservancy, Inc. (SCCi) took precautionary action to protect tens of thousands of endangered bats from deadly White Nose Syndrome (WNS), by closing several SCCi-owned or managed caves in the southeastern U.S. All of the caves being closed are home to significant populations of endangered bats. The selected caves – Frenchman Knob Cave in Kentucky; Wolf River Cave, Holly Creek Cave and Rattling Cave in Tennessee; Fricks Cave in Georgia; and Anderson Cave in Alabama – will remain closed until the board determines that it is appropriate to reopen them.

SCCi Members and their guests are invited to a Fricks Cave Open House on Saturday, February 17, 2007 from 9:00 to 4:30 p.m. eastern time at the cave in Walker County, Georgia.

Because the federally protected endangered grey bats are not currently in residence, the SCCi is able to allow visitation (provided that the bats do not return). Fricks is a stream cave, and can be very cold and wet at that time of year. Please dress accordingly.Weather permitting, there will be a cookout, which will begin at 4:30 p.m. Please stick around for a while around the fire for some burgers and hot dogs and visit with friends. Current SCCi members have been mailed an invitation with directions to the preserve.
