The mission of the Chouteau grotto is, in part, to "promote the preservation of caves, watershed areas, conservation of caves and their natural content; to promote good will with land owners and land managers."

MEETING: Our next two meetings are on May 1 at 7:00 pm at the Columbia Public Library.

MEMBERS: Check the calendar for details on upcoming caving trips and events.

PEOPLE WISHING TO JOIN: Because cave locations and other sensitive information is discussed on this website, we only allow access to people we know. Therefore, for us to get to know you, you must attend at least one meeting or a grotto-sponsored event prior to receiving access to this Yahoo site and/or be a current member in good standing.
